Review of Mendel in 90 minutes by John and Mary Gribbin published by Constable of London in 1997
Reviewer: W. P. Palmer
This very short book is part of a series written by John and Mary Gribbin and published by Constable. The books are written to a standard pattern with sixty pages with a further fifteen pages listing the main events in the history of science. There are no indices and no illustrations apart from the front covers of this paperback series. Scientists chosen in this series include Darwin, Halley, Einstein, Faraday, Galileo, Curie, Newton and the present book under review, Gregor Mendel.
The book provides the main facts about Mendel and also very ably destroys the widely held view that Mendel was an unknown amateur in science. John and Mary Gribbin provide a good brief analysis of Mendel's strengths and weaknesses, pointing out the way in which increasing administrative duties limited his ability to concentrate on his scientific experiments. A worthwhile book to read.
