Excerpt from Effects of the Rays of Radium on Plants
The investigations embodied in this Memoir were begun in the' autumn of 1904, with the intention of making them a minor problem during a year's residence at the New York Botanical Garden. On account of the scarcity of radium the work progressed slowly, for it was seldom that more than one or two experiments could be con! Ducted simultaneously. When it became certain that the facilities of the Garden laboratories would be available for an indefinite period, other work was made secondary to the radium problem, for the rela lively large quantities of radium and radium preparations placed at my disposal created an opportunity too valuable to let pass unim proved.
Chapter I. Contains, in concise, non-technical language, informa tion that is widely scattered in publications, many of which are not easily accessible or familiar to botanists. This information, however, is absolutely essential in order to understand the discussions that fol low, and it was deemed advisable to include it.
The problem was originally suggested by Dr. William J. Gies, Consulting Chemist of the New York Botanical Garden, and it is a pleasure to acknowledge his helpful suggestions during the earlier progress of the work.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the fascinating realm of radioactivity's impact on plants. As a newly recognized element of their environment, the author explores how plants respond to and adapt to this unique form of energy. Radioactivity, discovered in the late 19th century, changed our understanding of energy's nature and its influence on life. This book examines how plants react to radioactive forces, introducing the concept of radiotonus, similar to other environmental factors like water and sunlight. The author presents compelling evidence of radioactivity's presence in various water sources, including springs, wells, and even tap water. They also discuss the implications of radioactive emanations and dissolved radium salts found in these waters. The book's significance lies in expanding our understanding of plant-environment interactions. It sheds light on how radioactivity, an often overlooked factor, can influence plant growth, development, and adaptation.
