About this book
Seven years of Weismann's work, published as separate essays and gathered here in one volume, begin with the question of why living things have a limited span of life. August Weismann, professor at Freiburg, followed that question into heredity and parthenogenesis.
Later essays rest on new observations, including the polar bodies expelled by eggs. Edward B. Poulton, Selmar Schönland and Arthur E. Shipley edited the authorised translation, issued at Oxford by the Clarendon Press in 1889.
