Life: An Introduction to Complex Systems Biology (Understanding Complex Systems)
Автор:Kunihiko Kaneko Год: 2006 Издание: [не указанo] Страниц: 371 ISBN: 3540326669 What is life? Has molecular biology given us a satisfactory answer to this question? And if not, why, and how to carry on from there? This book examines life not from the reductionist point of view, but rather asks the question: what are the universal properties of living systems and how can one construct from there a phenomenological theory of life that leads naturally to complex processes such as reproductive cellular systems, evolution and differentiation? The presentation has been deliberately kept fairly non-technical so as to address a broad spectrum of students and researchers from the natural sciences and informatics.
