Summary
Details

A surprising experiment that quietly reshaped how genetics is understood Piebald Rats And Selection invites you into the lab where theory meets living proof. William E. Castle s landmark piebald rats study reads like both a scientific detective story and a foundational text in Mendelian genetics. Through meticulous selective breeding and careful biology experiments, Castle tests the effectiveness of selection and the controversial theory of gametic purity in Mendelian crosses. The book follows generations of rat genetics trials that probe genetic inheritance, heredity science, and the mechanics of selective breeding, offering lucid data, thoughtful analysis, and clear-sighted conclusions that still inform modern genetic theory. This edition is historically significant: Castle s research stands at the crossroads of early 20th-century experimental selection and the emerging framework of genetic inheritance. Scholars of rat genetics, students of heredity, and curious readers will find a rare combination of rigorous scientific research book and readable narrative about discovery. Alpha Editions proudly republishes this long out-of-print classic, restored for today s and future generations. More than a reprint, this volume is a collector s item and a cultural treasure carefully preserved and optimised for modern readers. Whether you re a casual reader intrigued by scientific history or a collector of classic scientific works, this restored edition makes Castle s contribution to Mendelian genetics, gametic purity, and selective breeding essential on your shelf.
