Book Synopsis About Life by : Paul S. Agutter
Download or read book About Life written by Paul S. Agutter. This book was released on 2007-03-06. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book uses modern biological knowledge to tackle the question of what distinguishes living organisms from the non-living world. The authors first draw on recent advances in cell and molecular biology to develop an account of the living state that applies to all organisms (and only to organisms). This account is then used to explore questions about evolution, the origin of life, and the possibility of extraterrestrial life. The novel approach taken by this book to issues in biology will interest and be accessible to both the general reader as well as students and specialists in the field.

Book Synopsis The Living World by : George Johnson
Download or read book The Living World written by George Johnson. This book was released on 2017-02-17. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Living World is often considered a student favorite. George Johnson has written this non-majors textbook from the ground up to be an engaging and accessible learning tool with an emphasis on "how things work and why things happen the way they do". The Living World focuses on concepts rather than terminology and technical information, and features a straightforward,clear writing style and a wide variety of media assets to enhance the content of the textbook. Every chapter of this 9th edition is focused directly on the relevance of its content to today’s students. When the discussion of a topic is linked to a student’s own experience, it does not seem so unapproachable, and the utility of learning it is far easier to accept.

Book Synopsis The Story of the Living Machine by : H. W. Conn
Download or read book The Story of the Living Machine written by H. W. Conn. This book was released on 2019-12-02. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Story of the Living Machine is an illustrated biology book on the human body written by H. W. Conn. Conn was an American bacteriologist and educator. Excerpt: "The problem before us in this section is to find out to what extent animals and plants are machines. We wish to determine whether the laws and forces which regulate their activities are the same as the laws and forces with which we experiment in the chemical and physical laboratory, and whether the principles of mechanics and the doctrine of the conservation of energy apply equally well in the living machine and the steam engine. It might be inferred that the proper method of study would be to confine our attention largely to the simplest forms of life, since the problems would be here less complicated, and therefore of easier solution. This, however, has not been nor can it be the method of study. Our knowledge of the processes of life have been derived largely from the most rather than the least complex forms."
