Paperback. Condition: New. What is Life? Decades of research have resulted in the full mapping of the human genome - three billion pairs of code whose functions are only now being understood. The gene's eye view of life, advocated by evolutionary biology, sees living bodies as mere vehicles for the replication of the genetic codes. But for a physiologist, working with the living organism, the view is a very different one. Denis Noble is a world renowned physiologist, and sets out an alternative view to the question - one that becomes deeply significant in terms of the living, breathing organism. The genome is not life itself. Noble argues that far from genes building organisms, they should be seen as prisoners of the organism. The view of life presented in this little, modern, post-genome project reflection on the nature of life, is that of the systems biologist: to understand what life is, we must view it at a variety of different levels, all interacting with each other in a complex web. It is that emergent web, full of feedback between levels, from the gene to the wider environment, that is life. It is a kind of music. Including stories from Noble's own research experience, his work on the heartbeat, musical metaphors, and elements of linguistics and Chinese culture, this very personal and at times deeply lyrical book sets out thesystems biology view of life.

What is Life? To answer this question, Denis Noble argues that we must look beyond the gene's eye view. For modern 'systems biology' considers life on a variety of levels, as an intricate web of feedback between gene, cell, organ, body, and environment. He shows how it is both a biologically rigorous and richly rewarding way of understanding life. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Paperback. Condition: New. Life is definitively purposive and creative. Organisms use genes in controlling their destiny. This book presents a paradigm shift in understanding living systems. The genome is not a code, blueprint or set of instructions. It is a tool orchestrated by the system. This book shows that gene-centrism misrepresents what genes are and how they are used by living systems. It demonstrates how organisms make choices, influencing their behaviour, their development and evolution, and act as agents of natural selection. It presents a novel approach to fundamental philosophical and cultural issues, such as free-will. Reading this book will make you see life in a new light, as a marvellous phenomenon, and in some sense a triumph of evolution. We are not in our genes, our genes are in us.

Condition: Bueno. : En 'La música de la vida', Denis Noble nos invita a reflexionar sobre la naturaleza de la vida desde una perspectiva innovadora. El autor cuestiona el enfoque reduccionista de la biología molecular, argumentando que el ADN no es la vida en sí mismo, sino que requiere de la interacción de múltiples procesos a diferentes niveles. A través de la biología de sistemas, Noble propone una visión más holística y rigurosa para comprender la complejidad de la vida, donde los genes son considerados prisioneros y el organismo se concibe como un sistema complejo con interacciones multinivel. Este libro ofrece una reflexión profunda y moderna sobre la vida, desafiando nuestra percepción tradicional y abriendo nuevas vías para la investigación científica.
