- SUBJECT: Collections of original research papers
- DATE: 2/97
-
- Biolabbers:
- Do you know of collections of significant original research papers
in
- areas of biology such as biochemistry, genetics, cell biology,
- microbiology,and biotechnology. I am looking for books like "Classic
- Papers in Genetics," which I used as an undergraduate, and "Milestones
- in Microbiology," which is out in a new edition, or even textbooks
which
- have articles in an appendix, as in my old Herskowitz "Genetics."
- Assigning a classic article to my students is much more convenient
for
- them and for our library staff if the article is in a book in our library
rather
- than by interlibrary loan from an old journal in some other library.
-
- Thanks for any suggestion.

- FOUNDATIONS OF ECOLOGY edited by Leslie Real and James Brown from
- University of Chicago Press (ISBN o-226-70593-5.
-
- Includes commentary and historical discussion. However, the most recent
- paper is from 1974. I guess our science was "founded" by
then.

- "The DNA Molecule, Structure and Properties" is a collection
edited by
- David Freifelder (Freeman, ISBN 0-7167-0287-8 in hard cover, 0-7167-0286-X
- in paper). Mine is dated 1978, so it may be out of print or in a new
- edition, but it's a super collection that picks up where "Classic
Papers in
- Genetics" leaves off.

- There is a nice archive of classic papers in genetics at:
-
- http://www.gdb.org/rjr/history.html
-
- Covers Mendel to the 1920's and contains about a dozen papers. (I believe
- that you will need a helper app called Acrobat to look at or print
these.)
-
- Also, I see that U. Chicago Press has a new "Foundations of Animal
Behavior"
- volume, parallel to the ecology collection.
