This book examines life not from the reductionist point of view, but rather asks the questions: what are the universal properties of living systems, and how can one construct from there a phenomenological theory of life that leads naturally to complex processes such as reproductive cellular systems, evolution and differentiation? The presentation is relatively non-technical to appeal to a broad spectrum of students and researchers.

What is life? Has molecular biology given us a satisfactory answer to this question? And if not, why, and how to carry on from there? This book examines life not from the reductionist point of view, but rather asks the question: what are the universal properties of living systems and how can one construct from there a phenomenological theory of life that leads naturally to complex processes such as reproductive cellular systems, evolution and differentiation? The presentation has been deliberately kept fairly non-technical so as to address a broad spectrum of students and researchers from the natural sciences and informatics.

Hardback. Condizione: New. 2006 ed. What is life? What type of system is life? How can we understand life? Or what does "understanding life" really mean? Sixty years since the publication of What Is Life? by Schrodinger ¨ and after the rise and success of molecular biology, have we reached the answer to these questions? In the recent years, I have often been asked by young researchers and students in biology: "I am afraid that such basic questions on a life system itself are not answered by the main-stream approach of c- rent biology that elucidates molecules and genes. We need some alternative approach. WhatamItodo?"Theyaresatis?edneitherwiththecurrenttrend in bioinformatics nor with the detailed computer models, and are striving for a framework complementary to molecular biology, a one that does not rely on enumerative approach. Responding to these voices, I have explained approaches my colleagues and I have been taking both theoretically and experimentally, in lectures and seminars. Although they show much interest, introduction of these rather interdisciplinary style of research is not easy, let alone discussing how we can understand life. Of course they ask for some books that describe a theoretical basis of our approach and the summaries of the recent studies. My desire to answer these requests from the students and researchers was the main force that had driven me to write the present book.
