PDF-(EBOOK)-Life: The Leading Edge of Evolutionary Biology, Genetics, Anthropology, and Environmental

The newest addition to John Brockmans Edgeorg series explores life itself bringing together the worlds leading biologists geneticists and evolutionary theoristsincluding Richard Dawkins Edward O Wilson J Craig Venter and Freeman DysonScientists understanding of life is progressing more rapidly than at any point in human history from the extraordinary decoding of DNA to the controversial emergence of biotechnology Featuring pioneering biologists geneticists physicists and science writers Life explains just how far weve comeand takes a brilliantly educated guess at where were headingFreeman Dyson borrows from science fiction to contemplate real questions about what constitutes the stuff of life Richard Dawkins and J Craig Venter discuss the revelatory similarity of genes to digital information Matt Ridley argues that nature and nurture are intricately intertwinedSteven Strogatz celebrates the spectacular mathematical synchronicity of fireflies Edward O Wilson reveals what ants can teach us about building a superorganismand in turn about how cells build an organism Elsewhere David Haig reports new findings on how mothers and fathers individually influence the human genome while Robert Trivers explores the opposing functions of the conscious and unconscious minds And theres much more in this fascinating volumeWe may never have all the answers But the thinkers collected in Life are asking questions that will keep us dreaming for generations. .
