Figure 1. Title page of the first (1935) edition of the General Biology textbook.

The book followed the structure of similar textbooks published in other countries: Bauer, E.S. - Introduction; Part I, Morozov, V.D. - Cells and organisms (4 chapters); Part II, Vinberg, G.G. - Metabolism (2 chapters); Part III, Bauer, E.S. and Luntz, A.M. - Excitation (2 chapters); Part IV, Dorfman, V.A. - Multiplication (3 chapters); Part V, Eskin, I.A. - Individual development (6 chapters); Part VI, Vinberg, G.G. - Genetics (2 chapters), Part VII, Paramonov, A. A. and Dorfman, V.A. - Theory of evolution (8 chapters). The volume presents biology at a high level, in accordance with the then generally accepted views. This point applies also to the presentation of genetics. Interestingly, Lysenko's method of vernalization (apoBH3au,nH) already received mention here, but solely in the part on individual development (Eayop 1935b, p. 263-264).
