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 \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Anna Matalová, Eva Matalová\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3030989224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783030989224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Springer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/04\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 304\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.39lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.75d","brand":"Anna Matalová","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44069272387839,"sku":"9783030989224","price":89.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_858236e4-0ccf-4315-ace0-12590425d812.jpg?v=1685423797","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/gregor-mendel-the-scientist-anna-matalov-9783030989224","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
