The publication
Research into biology and biotechnology is providing new insights for
medicine, and very likely for daily life, too.
Nevertheless, actual results are proving to be inferior to expectations
and public opinion is disturbed by the possible negative repercussions
that the new frontiers in science may have. Even so, it is essential to
move forward in our knowledge and comprehension of life as a system, a
move which is possible only through the work of physicists, mathematicians,
biologists and computer experts.
In this book, Marcello Buiatti, a biologist of worldwide fame, presents
an up-to-date and innovative synthesis of the fundamental features of
biological systems. Lo stato vivente della materia is, in fact, a work
that provides an understanding of what today appears to be the challenge
of the century.
The author
Marcello Buiatti teaches Genetics at the University of Florence. His
other publications include Frontiere della genetica (1989).
