Free Download Stephen Rothman, "The Life Beyond Molecules and Genes: How Our Adaptations Make Us Alive"
English | 2009 | pages: 241 | ISBN: 1599472503 | PDF | 0,6 mb
What makes us alive? Is it our DNA? Our genetics? Is it our atomic composition that gives us life? Somehow, all of this feels radically dissonant from our everyday experience. In Life Beyond Molecules and Genes, experimental biologist Stephen Rothman makes the bold case that it is, in fact, our adaptive abilities, hewn by evolution, that make us alive. In making this point, he reveals a hidden harmony between science and life as we live it.

Free Download Eva M. Neumann-Held, Christoph Rehmann-Sutter, "Genes in Development: Re-reading the Molecular Paradigm"
English | 2006 | pages: 371 | ISBN: 0822336677, 0822336561 | PDF | 1,9 mb
In light of scientific advances such as genomics, predictive diagnostics, genetically engineered agriculture, nuclear transfer cloning, and the manipulation of stem cells, the idea that genes carry predetermined molecular programs or blueprints is pervasive. Yet new scientific discoveries-such as rna transcripts of single genes that can lead to the production of different compounds from the same pieces of dna-challenge the concept of the gene alone as the dominant factor in biological development. Increasingly aware of the tension between certain empirical results and interpretations of those results based on the orthodox view of genetic determinism, a growing number of scientists urge a rethinking of what a gene is and how it works. In this collection, a group of internationally renowned scientists present some prominent alternative approaches to understanding the role of dna in the construction and function of biological organisms.
