The diversity of life makes it hard to encapsulate, yet this accessible treatment from a seasoned biologist offers readers a fresh twin-track insight into the nature of life through the prism of individual, mortal existence, and ongoing genomic collectivity.

Buch. Etat : Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Life is a diverse and ubiquitous phenomenon on Earth, characterized by fundamental features distinguishing living bodies from nonliving material. Yet it is also so complex that it has long defied precise definition. This book from a seasoned biologist offers new insights into the nature of life by illuminating a fascinating architecture of dualities inherent in its existence and propagation. Life is connected with individual living beings, yet it is also a collective and inherently global phenomenon of the material world. It embodies a dual existence of cycles of phenotypic life, and their unseen driver - an uninterrupted march of genetic information whose collective immortality is guaranteed by individual mortality. Although evolution propagates and tunes species of organisms, the beings produced can be regarded merely as tools for the survival and cloning of genomes written in an unchanging code. What are the physical versus informational bases and driving forces of life, and how do they unite as an integrated system What does time mean for individuals, life on the global scale, and the underlying information This accessible examination of principles and evidence shows that a network of dualities lies at the heart of biological puzzles that have engaged the human mind for millennia. 300 pp. Englisch.
