Recenzii
This is a valuable contribution to the history of genetics. It properly sets Mendel's achievements in a context of the scientific richness that characterized Moravia and Hungary at the time. It is highly recommended for libraries frequented by those interested in the history of science.

Descriere
The author shares an untold narrative of heredity, an active topic of inquiry long before Gregor Mendel planted his peas. This story involves the sheep breeder, Imre Festetics. He sought to improve wool and proposed important rules of heredity. Heredity Before Mendel resurrects Festetics, the grandfather of heredity.
