This novel, interdisciplinary text presents biological understanding in terms of general underlying principles, treating energy as the overarching theme and emphasizing the all-pervading influence of energy transformation in every process, both living and non-living. Key processes and concepts are explained in turn, culminating in a description of the overall functioning and regulation of a living cell. The book rounds off the story of life with a brief account of the endosymbioticorigins of eukaryotic cells, the development of multicellularity, and the emergence of modern plants and animals.Multidisciplinary research in science is becoming commonplace. However, as traditional boundaries…
