Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book challenges a traditional theory which explains the reactions of organisms to light, heat and cold. The author posits that the traditional approach, known as the tropism theory, is incorrect. Through a series of experiments on ciliate infusoria and flagellates, the author demo…nstrates that these organisms do not orient themselves in response to a stimulus by having one side of their body more strongly affected than the other. Instead, the author suggests that the orientation of these organisms is a result of trial and error. This new approach to understanding the behavior of organisms in response to environmental stimuli has important implications, including potentially improving our understanding of the complex behavior seen in animals. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.
