About This Book

The volume pairs a biographical narrative with a selection of public lectures and addresses that follow the subject's upbringing, education, and development as an experimental investigator. It surveys demonstrations and instruments devised to record faint plant movements and electrical responses, argues for physiological continuity across life forms, and describes observations of growth, wound reaction, and radiation phenomena. Interspersed are accounts of public appearances, institutional testimony, and reflections on scientific duty, presenting both accessible descriptions of experiments and broader meditations on the unity and marvels of living processes.
