Ameboid movement

"Ameboid Movement" by Asa A. Schaeffer is an early 20th-century scientific exploration of how amoebas move, focusing on the physiological responses of these organisms. The book highlights the importance of ameboid movement in other areas like medicine, psychology, biology, and evolution. The book starts by explaining what ameboid movement is and why it's important for things like understanding how white blood cells move. Schaeffer sets two main goals for the book: to describe how ameboid movement works and to show that even without special body parts for direction, organisms can still move in organized ways. Schaeffer argues that his ideas come from experiments and observations, adding a hands-on approach to a subject that's mostly been about theories.
