    Gregor Mendel

    Gregor Mendel, the founder of genetics, is renowned as one of the world’s most ingenious and influential scientists. Nonetheless, he remains misunderstood and enigmatic, his history shrouded in controversy and myth. Escaping poverty, he joined a scholarly community of Augustinian friars in a kloster and studied at the University of Vienna beneath some of Europe’s most accomplished scientists. He returned to a tumultuous milieu at the monastery as he and his fellow friars suffered a harrowing investigation accusing them of secularism and pantheistic philosophy. Against this backdrop, Mendel initiated an epic set of experiments with the common garden pea that would lead him to reveal the mystery of inheritance. The article he published would become a classic in the history of science.

    Darwin’s Origin of Species shook the world in 1859. Its impact eclipsed Mendel’s discovery, presented just a few years after Darwin’s pivotal book. Unlike Darwin, who witnessed his work

    Personal Response: Gregor Mendel: Father of Genetics by Roger Klare provides lots of interesting information about Mendel, but it is too simplistic for me to enjoy it. I also hate how Klare inserts what he thinks was going through the mind of Mendel and the people around him. Although I was rather disappointed by this book, I can not deny the fact that I learned alot about the father of genetics himself.

    Plot Description: The plot revolves around none other than Gregor Mendel and thoroughly explains the events of Gregor Mendel's interesting lifetime. It starts with talking about his upbringing as the son of Anton and Rosine Mendel and life on the Mendel family farm. One of the things that I enjoyed about this book was how it went into great detail about Mendel's love of learning as a child and even when he became a monk in the monastery. When Mendel became a monk his name was changed from Johann to Gregor. During his time as a fri
