Bøker av James E. Strick

How, asks James E. Strick, could spontaneous generation-the idea that living things can suddenly arise from nonliving materials-come to take root for a time (even a brief one) in so thoroughly unsuitable a field as British natural theology?

Wilhelm Reich's experiments in the 1930s with cutting-edge light microscopy and time-lapse micro-cinematography were considered discredited, but not because of shoddy lab technique, as has been claimed. Scientific opposition to Reich's experiments, James Strick argues, grew out of resistance to his unorthodox sexual theories and Marxist leanings.
