Review Quotes
Myles W. Jackson | Journal of Modern History
"Kohler’s study is a pioneering and provocative one, as he reveals just how important experimental skills and practices have been to the development of twentieth-century genetics. His contribution is a welcome alternative to static accounts of theory overpowering all aspects of experimental life. . . . Kohler’s text will surely find its place among the most important books in the history of biology."<\#209>Myles W. Jackson,
