The papers in this volume represent original work to celebrate the centenary of the American Society of Zoologists. They illustrate the impressive nature of historical scholarship that has subsequently focused on the development of biology in the United States.

Kevles * Science *
Fills in gap and sets the record straight concerning the diversity, the complexity, and the general richness of biological theory and practice in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. * Bulletin of the History of Medicine *
History of science at its modern best. -- W. J. Bynum * Nature *
