What reading level is The Dynamics of Living Matter book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It has occasionally been stated that eggs of animals develop better or quicker in the light than in the dark; but a closer analysis of such statements has shown invariably, thus far, that they are due to an experimental error. Some authors managed by faulty methods to ex- clude the air also with the light, and others did not exclude or consider the influence of microorganisms in their experiments. Driesch's experiments have failed to show any influence of light upon the develop- ment of eggs; a...nd my own experiments in that direction have also thus far yielded only negative results. The fact that the eggs of mam- mals develop in the uterus, shows sufficiently that eggs can develop in the dark.
In years of experimenting I have found only one form of animals in which diffused daylight has an influence upon the formation of organs ; namely, Eudendrium, a hydroid.J When stems of Eudendrium are * Engelmann, Pfluger's Arckiv, Vol. 27, p. 485, 1882 ; and Vol. 38, p. 386, 1886.
t As fungi can form proteids in the dark when a carbohydrate is contained in the cul- ture medium, it seems at least possible that light is not directly required for the formation of proteids in green plants.
