Basic Biology for Born Engineers
While the laws of physics rely on calculus, this approach fails for biology. Living things are not continuous; they are discrete and amazingly exact. This book presents a novel view of biology as the science of ‘living mosaics’, made of discrete, yet interacting, ‘tiles’.
Kin Recognition in Protists and Other Microbes
This is the first volume on the genetics, evolution, and behavior of kin recognition in microbes. It covers how cells recognize kin and clones, the role of kinship in disease, and what microbial cooperation and cheating reveal about the origins of multicellularity.
