The authors aim to show Mendel´s scientific thinking and inner feelings together with his environment and to communicate his message as a multifaceted personality and modern experimentalist.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book draws from the only existing short sketch of Mendel´s youth, his letters and the biographical ceiling paintings that were made according to his proposal. They form the basis of the self-portrait concept.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e The structure of the book follows thematic groups covering Mendel´s activities from a poor village boy in search for education and financial security\u003cb\u003e, \u003c\/b\u003eas not being physically suitable for running his father's farm. The book does not perpetuate the myths invented by some creative authors to make Mendel´s biography more attractive. Mendel´s life and work are dramatic enoughwithout those embellishments. Mendel found happiness in science and he was able to explain the theory of new scientific facts. He was not a tragic figure, he did not work to become famous, but to be useful. His pea research has now been appreciated as a genius accomplishment of a scientist.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book is published at the occasion of Mendel´s birthday bicentennial.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2022-08-04\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9783030989224\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-3-030-98923-1\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 304\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer International Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44542754029708,"sku":"9783030989224","price":89.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783030989224.jpg?v=1775054111","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9783030989224","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
