Charles M. Breder, Jr. : hypothetical considerations, 1931 - 1937.

Abstract

This report contains a "hypothesis" diary by Charles M. Breder Jr. recorded from 1931 - 1937. The contents provide an insight into the early meticulous scientific thoughts of this biologist, and how he examines and develops these ideas. Topics discussed include symmetry, origin of the atmosphere, origin of life, mechanical analogies of organisms, aquaria as an organism, astrobiology, entropy, evolution of species, and other topics. The diary was transcribed as part of the Coastal Estuarine Data/Document Rescue and Archeology effort for South Florida.
