Basic Biophysics for Biology. This item is unavailable.Basic Biophysics for Biology

Basic Biophysics for Biology presents the fundamental physical and chemical principles required to understand much of modern biology. The author has made extensive use of illustrations rather than a mathematical approach to establish connections between macroscopic-world models and submicroscopic phenomena. Topics covered include the nucleus, atomic and molecular structure, the principles of thermodynamics, free energy, catalysis, diffusion, and heat flow. Students and professionals in general biology, physiology, genetics, and radiation biology will appreciate this carefully prepared, non-mathematical volume.

Presents the fundamental physical and chemical principles required to understand much of modern biology. The author's extensive use of illustrations, rather than a mathematical approach, help to establish connections between macroscopic world models and submicroscopic phenomena. Topics covered include the nucleus, atomic and molecular structure, the principles of thermodynamics, free energy, catalysis, diffusion and heat flow. The book presents an extensive collection of computer-generated illustrations to portray realistic models while emphasizing the use of macroscopic world models to describe submicroscopic phenomena.
