Aims at a critical comparison of scientific methods of thought, with special reference to the relations between biology and the “exact sciences” of chemistry and physics.
“Interesting and valuable ... original and striking ... should be read and studied by all thinking men and women.”—Education.
“For the plain man this is a disturbing book. It suggests the unification of science by the breaking down of the barriers between the biological and the physical branches.... We shall probably hear more of this view.”—Journal of Education.
“Its appeal is to everyone with an intellectual interest; a thoughtful book, provocative of thought, with an individual attitude.”—Glasgow Herald.
THE SECOND DANISH PAMIR EXPEDITION

- Vol. I. Studies in the Vegetation of the Transcaspian Lowlands, 1912 5s. net
- Vol. II. Studies in the Vegetation of Pamir, 1920 7s. 6d. net
These two volumes, issued originally in English by Gyldendal, Copenhagen (1912 and 1920 respectively), can now be obtained from the London Branch. They provide a report of the botanical results of the expedition, with chapters on the climate, structure, and geology of these little-known regions, which will be of interest to botanists and explorers alike.
