About the Author

Amy Pollack graduated from the New York City High School of Music and Art, then earned an B.F.A. from The Cooper Union, and a B.A. from Brandeis University with a major in Art History and with honors in Graphics. Her recent works include illustrations for publications of the Stevens Institute of Technology’s College of Arts and Letters, illustrations for the Columbia University student magazine “Sanctum,” and illustrations in “Crosscurrents” magazine. In addition to illustrating articles, she enjoys making soft sculptures, tee-shirt designs, collages and quilts. Her facility with scientific matters stems from summers spent at the Marine Biology Lab at Woods Hole Massachusetts, and on her work as a technician at Brandeis University, where she learned to make ribosomes from yeast. The Course of Nature is her first full-length book. An earlier version of The Course of Nature has been used as a reading in the Columbia College core course “Frontiers of Science,” and in the Stevens Institute of Technology program in Arts and Letters. For more information about her work, see http://pollackauthors.wordpress.com/ Robert Pollack graduated from Columbia University with a B.A. in physics, and received a Ph.D. in biology from Brandeis University. He has been a professor of biological sciences at Columbia since 1978, and was dean of Columbia College from 1982–89. He received the Alexander Hamilton Medal from Columbia University, and has held a Guggenheim Fellowship. He is the author of Signs of Life: The Languages and Meanings of DNA (Houghton Mifflin/Viking Penguin, 1994), The Missing Moment: How the Unconscious Shapes Modern Science (Houghton Mifflin, 1999); and The Faith of Biology and the Biology of Faith: Meaning, Order and Free Will in Modern Medical Science (Columbia University Press, 2000). Signs of Life received the Lionel Trilling Award and has been translated into six languages. In 2010 he was elected to be the fourth Director of The University Seminars at Columbia.

Information regarding the right of withdrawal

Statutory right to withdraw

You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.

The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.

To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.

To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.

Effects of withdrawal

If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).

We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.

We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.

We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.

The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.

The right of withdrawal does not apply to:

The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
