The book is well written with plenty of diagrams and explainations. The questions are at the right level to make you think and apply the knowledge you learned from reading the chapter.
Regarding Science-Ejected Vitalism, 2005:
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
Vitalism is a profoundly science-ejected concept, though many CAM or 'natural health' cabals falsely claim that vitalism survives scientific scrutiny. I quote: "during the 19th century, any biological process that could not be understood in chemical terms was explained by the doctrine of vitalism. Vitalists argued that it was the presence of a vital force (life force or spirit) that distinguished the living world from the inanimate world. The experiment that destroyed the idea of vitalism was the synthesis of urea [...] in 1828 [...by] Wohler [p.005...] Pasteur held firmly to his belief in the vital-force theory, that only whole, living organisms are capable of carrying out metabolism and other biochemical processes. However the vital-force theory was put to rest when Hans and Eduard Buchner demonstrated in the 1890s that cell-free extracts of yeast [...] could ferment glucose, sucrose, and other carbohydrates into ethanol [p.450...] vitalism: a now defunct doctrine that living organisms have a vital force that distinguishes them from the inanimate world [p.676]." -r.c.
