How Life is Different (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

The book examines basic principles of the structure and organization of living organisms and their differences from objects of inanimate nature. It covers how a single program-information structure permeates all evolutionary stages of life, including the cell, multicellular organisms and humans. The author explains how this structure is arranged and how it functions, as well as the role of the information system.

KEY FEATURES

• Reviews persistent questions and addresses fundamental themes in biology
• Provides systematic coverage
• Includes original insights into basic principles of living organization and structure
• Demonstrates the applicability of a proposed approach to particular evolutionary grades

Autorenporträt

Vitaly Shubin is a physicist and leading researcher at the P. N. Lebedev Physics Institute Russian Academy of Sciences in Moscow. He has authored or co-authored more than 120 papers and has several dozen patents. His physics research has focused on the "avalanche process" under negative feedback conditions in semiconductors and implementation of multicell solid-state photomultipliers combining single-photon sensitivity with analog mode of operation. The devices based on this technology are produced by many companies and widely distributed in various detection systems of biomed, nuclear physics and technology, environmental monitoring. For the last two decades, Dr Shubin has also studied molecular biology and biology of organisms to understand and isolate the main differences in the structure and organization of interaction between bodies and objects in living and non-living nature.
