The authors highlight Loeb's organizational actions \u0026amp; political opinions during the years of 1906 to 1924, the year he died. As a social activist \u0026amp; scientist, Loeb influenced the scientific community, the politically sensitive public, \u0026amp; ultimately the population against conservative \u0026amp; reactionary attitudes toward race, ethnicity, poverty, criminality, war \u0026amp; religion.\" He took positions on WW 1, social activism, his influence on the economist Thorstein Veblen \u0026amp; finally philosophy \u0026amp; politics. Loeb was hailed early in his career for his work on spontaneous generation of marine embryos \u0026amp; recognized later for his active challenge to social intolerance.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Charles Rasmussen\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0871692295\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780871692290\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e American Philosophical Society Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/01\/1998\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 176\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.20lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.00h x 7.00w x 0.50d","brand":"Charles Rasmussen","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48443729576191,"sku":"9780871692290","price":45.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_9ab51b93-7a43-4adc-b31f-addfd251dfdd.jpg?v=1777207438","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/jacques-loeb-charles-rasmussen-9780871692290","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
