Three to One: Why Mendel Failed (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798518014565)

Gregor Mendel, a monk at the St. Thomas Monastery in what is now the Czech Republic, is widely considered the father of modern-day genetics. His pioneering analysis of inheritance in peas is probably familiar to every student who has studied biology. But his path to greatness wasn't an easy one. As a young monk, he was unable to pass an examination that was required to certify him as a grade school science teacher. Despite his failure, the committee administering the exam felt that he showed some promise and he was sent to the University of Vienna to make up for his deficiencies. After two years of study, he sat again for the test. But this time, he walked out without even handing in his paper. No one knows why. It's a mystery for which I offer a wholly fictitious and romantic explanation.
