Mendel 200
Although Masaryk University is quintessentially linked to the traditions and ethos of the First Czechoslovak Republic, its scientific ambitions are rooted in earlier research efforts in nineteenth-century Brno. Certainly the most extraordinary of figures in this area was Gregor Johann Mendel (1822–1884), naturalist and abbot of the Augustinian monastery in Old Brno, who is known to whole world as the founder of genetics. His discoveries of the principles of heredity are regarded as groundbreaking acts that are among the greatest scientific achievements of the modern era.
On the occasion of the celebration of the 200th anniversary of his birth, we offer jubilee prices for books that will expand knowledge about his personality and the fields of genetics and biology.
