Geometries of the Living

Inaugural Lecture delivered on Thursday 4 October 2007

by Alain Prochiantz ...

Series series Leçons inaugurales
My idea of a theory in biology is quite different from the theoretical biology that is expressed as equations of observed or photographed phenomena. I have a simpler, more concrete conception. Not a mathematical description of what is seen, but an evolving model, a tool developed through bricolage, with mathematics perhaps, but also natural language: one that serves above all to understand the ...

Signature in the Cell

DNA and the Evidence for Intelligent Design

by Stephen C. Meyer ...

“Signature in the Cell is a defining work in the discussion of life’s origins and the question of whether life is a product of unthinking matter or of an intelligent mind. For those who disagree with ID, the powerful case Meyer presents cannot be ignored in any honest debate. For those who may be sympathetic to ID, on the fence, or merely curious, this book is an engaging, eye-opening, and often ... Read more

What enables individually simple insects like ants to act with such precision and purpose as a group? How do trillions of neurons produce something as extraordinarily complex as consciousness?

Biology beyond the Genome

by Denis Noble ...

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. ... Read more

The Construction of Scientific Facts

by Bruno Latour, Steve Woolgar ...

This highly original work presents laboratory science in a deliberately skeptical way: as an anthropological approach to the culture of the scientist. Drawing on recent work in literary criticism, the authors study how the social world of the laboratory produces papers and other "texts,"' and how the scientific vision of reality becomes that set of statements considered, for the time being, too ...

Biological Relativity

by Denis Noble ...

In this thought-provoking book, Denis Noble formulates the theory of biological relativity, emphasising that living organisms operate at multiple levels of complexity and must therefore be analysed from a multi-scale, relativistic perspective. Noble explains that all biological processes operate by means of molecular, cellular and organismal networks. The interactive nature of these fundamental ... Read more

How We Evolved to Have Reason, Consciousness, and Free Will

by Kenneth R. Miller ...

From one of America’s best-known biologists, a revolutionary new way of thinking about evolution that shows “why, in light of our origins, humans are still special” (Edward J. Larson, Pulitzer Prize–winning author of Evolution).Once we had a special place in the hierarchy of life on Earth—a place confirmed by the literature and traditions of every human tribe.

Chance in Evolution

This illuminating volume explores the effects of chance on evolution, covering diverse perspectives from scientists, philosophers, and historians.The evolution of species, from single-celled organisms to multicellular animals and plants, is the result of a long and highly chancy history. But how profoundly has chance shaped life on earth? And what, precisely, do we mean by chance? Bringing ... Read more

Biology and Beyond

by Kriti Sharma ...

From biology to economics to information theory, the theme of interdependence is in the air, framing our experiences of all sorts of everyday phenomena. Indeed, the network may be the ascendant metaphor of our time. Yet precisely because the language of interdependence has become so commonplace as to be almost banal, we miss some of its most surprising and far-reaching implications.In ... Read more

Why Evolution is Not True: Because Natural Selection Does Not Exist

by Dr. C. H. E. Sadaphal ...

The current scientific consensus champions evolution by natural selection as an indisputable fact. Resultantly, many tell us where the facts lead, but when actually examining the alleged evidence, what one unearths is quite shocking—that from the very beginning, the theory of evolution was built on an unsteady foundation and the facts that presumably support it are rare, isolated, and unimpressive ...
