Today’s featured entry from the Vatican Observatory Faith and Science pages:

“Gregor Mendel – Father of Genetics” (CLICK HERE for it)

This book about Gregor Mendel, an Austrian monk, is oriented toward younger readers. When Mendel published the results of his work in 1866, no one paid any attention. In 1900, sixteen years after Mendel’s death, his work was rediscovered. The world at last understood the importance of Mendel’s discoveries, and the science of genetics was born. For his groundbreaking work in the study of heredity, Gregor Mendel is remember as one of the great minds of science… (CLICK HERE to continue).

This book is among the Faith and Science entries for younger readers. CLICK HERE for more.


The Faith and Science pages (F&S) are a unique resource on the web. The material in F&S is stuff that you will find nowhere else (or at least not without a lot of digging). Featured areas on F&S include “History of Church and Science”; “Church and Science Today”; “Science and Scripture”; “Science, Religion & Society”; “Life in the Universe”; “Cosmology”; and more. The level of the F&S material ranges from being accessible to all audiences, with even some material oriented toward young readers, up to material for university specialists.

The F&S pages, like this blog, are made possible by the Vatican Observatory Foundation (the Vatican Observatory’s US operation that operates the Vatican Advanced Technology Telescope, or VATT, in Arizona). CLICK HERE to support the F&S pages, this blog, and the operation of the VATT.
