<p><p>presents The Views Of Eminent Scientists On Current Problems In Biology.</p> <h3>library Journal</h3> <p>in Celebration Of Physicist Erwin Schrdinger's Classic Book What Is Life? (1945), Which Consolidated Ideas From Physics, Biology, And Chemistry And Served As An Early Inspiration To The Development Of Molecular Biology, A Diverse Group Of Well-known Scientists-physiologists, Evolutionary Biologists, Physicists, Neuroscientists, Ecologists, And Mathematicians-expound Further On Schrdinger's Question And Make Predictions About The Future Of Biology. Although All The Essays Address A Piece Of Schrdinger's Work, There Is Little Coherence In The Collection, And The Future Of Biology Is Predicted Weakly, If At All. The Biology Here Is Human Biology, With Some Discussion Of Future Breakthroughs In The Study Of The Brain: Mind, Behavior, And Language. Lewis Wolpert's Fascinating Essay On The Interface Of Development And Genetics Addresses The Book's Theme Most Specifically. Because Many Of The Essays Are Difficult To Follow And Interpret, This Book Is Not For General Or Even Informed Readers Unless They Are Well Versed In Physics, Molecular Biology, Neuroscience, And Mathematics.
