Size: 9 1/2″ x 6 3/4″. Text is in German. . Gilt-stamped cloth spine with marbled paper over boards, pp. 233-338, illustrated with four plates, text in German. An article on cell morphology, “Rauber offers a cyto-mechanical model to explain the shaping of an embryo during the early stages of embryogenesis. As a consequence, cell dynamics are triggered by the tension and pressures of differentiating, growing and moving cells inside the germinal disc. A few years later Theodor Boveri proved Rauber’s hypothesis correct (Boveri 1901). What Rauber here tentatively formulated in a nutshell, anticipated one of the most fruitful research programs of classical cytogenetics that connected chromosomal behavior to Mendelian genetics.” SABIN.
