Thomas Hunt Morgan Bücher

Die Entdeckung der Regeneration wird durch die Experimente von Abraham Trembley neu beleuchtet, der mit dem Süßwasserpolypen Hydra arbeitete. Ursprünglich wollte er klären, ob es sich um tierische oder pflanzliche Organismen handelte. Durch das Zerschneiden der Polypen stellte er fest, dass aus jedem Teilstück ein neuer Polyp entstand, was im Widerspruch zu den damaligen wissenschaftlichen Annahmen über Tiere stand. Trembleys Beobachtungen führten zu einer grundlegenden Erkenntnis über die Regenerationsfähigkeit von Tieren und veränderten das Verständnis in der Biologie nachhaltig.

"The nine stories in Morgan Thomas's shimmering debut collection witness Southern queer and genderqueer determined to find themselves reflected in the annals of history, whatever the cost. AS Thomas's subjects trace deceit and violence through Southern tall tales and their own pasts, their journeys reveal the porous boundaries of body, land, and history, and the sometimes ruthless awakenings of self-discovery. Winding between reinventions and remembrance, transition and transcendence, these origin stories resound across centuries. With warm, meticulous emotional intelligence, Morgan Thomas uncovers how the stories we borrow to understand ourselves in turn shape the people we become. Ushering in a new form of queer mythmaking, Manywhere introduces a storyteller of uncommon range and talent." --page [4] of cover.

The inspiration for the Lifetime movie and a guide for parents confronting their autistic children's journeys to adulthood.Parents of autistic children often What will happen to our kids when they grow up? Can they work? Have relationships and their own families? Here is the poignant story of one woman watching her autistic boys reach adulthood.A single mother barely making ends meet, Corrine Morgan-Thomas could hardly afford doctors for her twins, Stephen and Phillip. After their diagnosis of autism, no one else thought these boys would ever amount to anything. But Corrine managed single-handedly to keep the boys out of institutions-and in "regular" school. And their inspiring story became Lifetime television's Miracle Run .The real miracle, though, was what happened where the movie left off-when Stephen and Phillip graduated to face adult autism. From their diagnosis to the present day, when the boys have grown into young men leading happy lives, Corrine's eye-opening story is full of candor, humor, and most of all, hope.

This pioneering work in the field of regeneration studies explores the ability of planarians to regenerate complete organisms from small fragments. With clear and concise language, Thomas Hunt Morgan presents his groundbreaking research that revolutionized the study of developmental biology and paved the way for future discoveries.
