Produktinformationen zu „The Rainbow and the Worm (PDF)“
This highly unusual book is a serious inquiry into Schrödinger's question, “What is life?”, and at the same time a celebration of life itself. It takes the reader on a voyage of discovery through many areas of contemporary physics, from non-equilibrium thermodynamics and quantum optics to liquid crystals and fractals, all necessary for illuminating the problem of life. In the process, the reader is treated to a rare and exquisite view of the organism, gaining novel insights, not only into the physics but also into “the poetry and meaning of being alive”. This book is intended for all who love the subject.
Autoren-Porträt von Mae-Wan Ho
Dr Mae-Wan Ho took a PhD in Biochemistry from Hong Kong University with which she set off on a distinguished research career: a postdoctoral fellowship in Neurosciences, University of California at San Diego, resulted in a Fellowship of the National Genetics Foundation, USA; then she joined Queen Elizabeth College, University of London, becoming Senior Research Fellow in Biochemistry, studying biochemistry, molecular genetics, and evolution. Her work in genetics, non-Darwinian evolution, and more recently, biophysics of living organisms continued at the Open University, where she has been a staff member since 1976. This book, first published in 1993, is the result of her latest research. She is a highly prolific author with over a hundred and fifty research papers and articles, and six other books including Genetic Engineering Dream or Nightmare? The Brave New World of Bad Science and Big Business (1997) and Bioenergetics (1995).
