Hardcover. Etat : Very Good. 1st Edition. Hardcover, xvii + 282 pages, NOT ex-library. Book is clean and bright throughout with crisp pages and unmarked text, free of inscriptions and stamps, firmly bound. A small corner indentation to a portion of leaves. Boards show gentle handling wear to the edges. Issued without a dust jacket. -- The book explores how chemical elements shaped the emergence and function of life by tracing their roles from cosmic origins to biological systems - offering researchers and advanced students a physicochemical framework to decode elemental essentiality, toxicity, and evolutionary adaptation. -- The book begins with astrophysical element synthesis since the Big Bang, examining how interstellar organics, meteoritic compounds, and planetary conditions provided raw materials for prebiotic chemistry. It then analyzes pathways of chemical evolution leading to abiogenesis, emphasizing flow systems, thermal gradients like hydrothermal vents, and aqueous-phase adaptations that reverse expected ion behaviors such as Na+/K+ membrane dynamics. A core contribution is the Biological System of Elements (BSE), which reconfigures the periodic table using geochemical and physiological data - critiquing its classical form - to reveal abundance correlations, enzyme-level impacts, and autocatalytic feedbacks tied to metalloproteins, structured along dimensions of aggregation capacity, salinity response, and biochemical affinity. Stoichiometric Network Analysis (SNA) formalizes these relationships into non-equations predicting essentiality or toxicity based on redox states and complexation potential, including pharmaceutical cases like Cr in diabetes and Li in mental health. Later chapters apply this framework to environmental compartments - water, soil, atmosphere - and extend it to comparative planetology via missions targeting Mars, Europa, Titan, and exoplanets, while an extensive appendix catalogs elemental functions across taxa. -- This work stands apart by integrating cosmic chemistry, network thermodynamics, and organismal physiology into a single predictive architecture - still relevant for astrobiology mission design, ecotoxicological risk modeling, and understanding metal-dependent disease mechanisms in medicine; its value lies in providing a transferable logic for why certain elements became biologically indispensable or disruptive under specific physicochemical constraints.

Buch. Etat : Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This book is written for researchers and students interested in the function and role of chemical elements in biological or environmental systems. Experts have long known that the Periodic System of Elements (PSE) provides only an inadequate chemical description of elements of biological, environmental or medicinal importance. This book explores the notion of a Biological System of the Elements (BSE) established on accurate and precise multi-element data, including evolutionary aspects, representative sampling procedures, inter-element relationships, the physiological function of elements and uptake mechanisms. The book further explores the concept Stoichiometric Network Analysis (SNA) to analyze the biological roles of chemical species. Also discussed is the idea of ecotoxicological identity cards which give a first-hand description of properties relevant for biological and toxicological features of a certain chemical element and its geo biochemically plausible speciation form. The focus of this book goes beyond both classical bioinorganic chemistry and toxicology. 300 pp. Englisch. N° de réf. du vendeur 9783319143545
