Life: An Introduction to Complex Systems Biology

This book examines life not from the reductionist point of view, but rather asks the questions: 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 is relatively non-technical to appeal to a broad spectrum of students and researchers.Author: Kunihiko KanekoPublisher: SpringerPublished: 11/25/2010Pages: 374Binding Type: PaperbackWeight: 1.19lbsSize: 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.80dISBN13: 9783642069154ISBN10: 3642069150BISAC Categories:- Science | Life Sciences | Biophysics- Computers | Artificial Intelligence | General- Mathematics | Applied
