From the Back Cover
About the Book: No science has ever been done without an indissoluble link between theory and fact: facts are colored by the theoretical spectacles one puts on, just as much as theory is shaped by the results of empirical observation. Theoretical biology is a broad and rapidly growing field where this link is actually explored with passion and discipline. The chapters of this book have been chosen to give the student of theoretical biology the flavor of current exciting research in the field.

Soft cover. Condition: Near Fine. 1st Edition. Book is clean with a square, tight binding and bright, white pages. Book has minor wear on the page edges that is difficult to see in the scans. No science has ever been done without an indissoluble link between theory and fact: facts are colored by the theoretical spectacles one puts on, just as much as theory is shaped by the results of empirical observation. Theoretical biology is a broad and rapidly growing field where this link is actually explored with passion and discipline. The chapters of this book have been chosen to give the student of theoretical biology the flavor of current exciting research in the field.
