Not illustrated. 1901 edition. Excerpt: ...new heads, if they developed at all, only in the region of union. Peebles states that the regeneration of aboral heads takes place only when one component is cut off near the region of union of the two pieces. M In general, it may be stated in regard to these experiments in hydra that when pieces are united in the same direction, that is, by unlike surfaces, a single individual is formed and no regeneration takes place where the union has been made, but when like surfaces are brought together, although perfect union may result, a process of regeneration takes place later, at or near the line of union. Even the presence of cut-surfaces at one or both cut-ends of the united components does not generally affect the result, although, in a few cases, it may change it, in so far that heteromorphic regeneration may take place from one piece. This sometimes leads to a suppression of regeneration at the line of union. The experiments do not show, perhaps, conclusively whether the heteromorphosis of the smaller component is due to the polarity of the larger component effecting a change in the smaller one, or whether the closing of the oral end of the smaller component (by its union with the other) brings about the result. All things considered, it seems to me that the larger compo nent has directly influenced the other. King has found that if two posterior pieces of hydra are united by the oral cut-surfaces, and then after they have fused both pieces are cut off near the line of fusion, there develops from the small piece a single hydra, with a foot at one end and tentacles at the other. If only one of the pieces is cut off near the line of fusion, a new head develops from its oral surface, as Peebles had found. If two anterior ends are united by...

If you were to choose one superpower, what would you have? Super-speed? Super-strength? Flight? You know what I say to that? Basic. Blah! You know what I would have? Electrical manipulation, control over air and wind, fire manipulation, earth manipulation, sorcery (to name a few). All of those are on display in this book. Some powers may be more common than others. Just like the other heroes that possess these powers, our main character Arevin (Are-ĕ-vin) was sent to Earth from a planet called Hocus, home to the powerful Ariveinian Kingdom. The year is 2172, and Arevin was sent to Earth to make contact with the people after the construction of the first Martian colony, making the Earth a "class three civilization". Arevin soon develops his basic powers and learns how to control them by protecting citizens and stopping crimes. That is, until Arevin encounters Joseph Green, aka Dark Nature, another super-powered person with the same skills and abilities...Isaac Verjan is a teenager who got a cool idea when he still in elementary school, he put a short story idea into google docs starting the early stages of this book. Isaac liked to draw these characters himself, slowly developing them more and more, getting better at writing and drawing as he grew up. Writing the story in full, just not the way he would later want it to be. He eventually redeveloped the story and even changed the main characters entirely. Isaac had originally gotten the idea of this story from wondering what would happen if the Sci-fi and Fantasy genres combined together as he had never seen it done very well. He lives a decent middle class life in America, still in highschool. Being in school meant that the first book became difficult for Isaac to write taking him around three years to actually get it the way he wanted it. He eventually found the right publishing company and went through with the process to get to where this book is now."I'm glad God sent me on this path and not where I thought I would go, I know that this would be better than what I had first thought of." A quote from Isaac he wanted to share.

Excerpt from RegenerationIt gives me great pleasure to express my indebtedness to Dr. Mosz kowski for the able and painstaking translation that he has made. Without altering the sense he has often, I think, succeeded in giving a more interesting and readable presentation of the facts than Lhad done.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from RegenerationThis volume is the outcome of a course of five lectures on Regeneration and Experimental Embryology, given in Columbia University in January, 1900. The subjects dealt with in the lectures are here more fully treated and are Supplemented by the discussion of a number of related topics. During the last few years the prob lems connected with the regeneration of organisms have interested a large number of biologists, and much new work has been done in this field especially in connection with the regenerative phenomena of the egg and early embryo. The development of isolated cells or blastomeres has, for instance, aroused widespread interest. It has become clearer, as new discoveries have been made, that the latter phenomena are only special cases of the general phenomena of regeneration in organisms, so that the results have been treated from this point of View in the present volume.If it should appear that at times I have gone out of my way to attack the hypothesis of preformed nuclear germs, and also the theory of natural selection as applied to regeneration, I trust that the importance of the questions involved may be an excuse for the criticism.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
