Synopsis
Excerpt from The Fertility of the Infit
Biology is the Science of Life. It seeks to explain the phenomena of all life, whether animal or vegetable. Its methods are observation and experiment. It observes the tiny cell on the surface of an egg yolk, and watches it divide and multiply until it becomes a great mass of cells, which group of? Or differentiate, and rearrange and alter their shapes. It observes how little organs unfold them selves, or evolve out of these little cell groups - how gradual, but how unvarying the change; how one group becomes a bone, another a brain, another a muscle, to constitute in three short weeks the body of a matured chick. Those little tendons like silken threads, that run down those slender pink legs to each and every toe, and move its little joints so swiftly that we hardly see them that little brain, no bigger than a tiny seed, in which is planted a mysterious force that impels it to set all those brand-new muscles in motion, and to dart after a fly with the swiftness of an arrow - all this wondrous mechanism, all this beauteous structure, all this perfection of function, all this adaptation to environment, have evolved from a few microscopic cells in three short weeks.
Biology is the science that observes all this, and enunciates the law that the life-history of this animal cell.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the issue of human fertility and its significant decline in recent times. The author traces the evolution of population control methods from ancient times to the present day, highlighting the emergence of voluntary family limitation as the primary factor in this decline. The book examines the motivations behind this trend, including economic pressures, the desire for personal freedom, and the availability of scientific knowledge about contraception. The author argues that this decline in fertility has led to a worrying increase in the proportion of dependent individuals in society, putting a strain on resources and threatening the future stability of nations. The work concludes by discussing potential solutions to this problem, emphasizing the importance of responsibleç"è and the need for a balanced approach to population control that safeguards both individual rights and the well-being of society.
