Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book observes the origins and growth of animal and vegetable life through experimentation with animal semen and plant infusions under the microscope. The author's findings challenge the prevailing scientific paradigms of his time, including the theory of pre-existing germs and the belief that micro-organisms were spontaneously generated. Instead, he proposes that all life originates from the action of a vegetative force inherent in all organic matter, an idea that would later influence the development of modern biology. The author's work provides a fascinating glimpse into the early days of scientific inquiry, and offers valuable insights into the origins of life and the nature of the natural world.
