La logique du vivant
Francois Jacob / François Jacob Betty E. Spillmann
Overview
In "The Logic of Life", Francois Jacob looks at the way our understanding of biology has changed since the sixteenth century. He describes four fundamental turning points in the perception of the structure of living things: the discoveries of the functions of organs, cells, chromosomes and genes, and DNA.
