Developmental biology

The science of change from cells to cultureCells to Civilizations is the first unified account of how life transforms itself-from the production of bacteria to the emergence of complex civilizations.

Over millions of years, terrestrial plants have competed for limited resources, defended themselves against herbivores, and resisted a myriad of environmental stresses.

Charles Darwin besaß genau die Eigenschaften, die auch heutige gute Forscher auszeichnen: unbändigen Wissensdurst gepaart mit Experimentierlust, Ideenreichtum, Geistesschärfe und großer Hartnäckigkeit.

Charles Darwin hat unser Weltbild entscheidend verändert: Dass die Lebewelt auf unserem Planeten kein fertiges Inventar ist, sondern sich beständig wandelt - mal schnell, mal langsam -, war zu seiner Zeit revolutionär und wird auch heute noch von manchen abgestritten.

Unser blauer Planet ist etwas ganz Besonderes.

Diese Monographie bietet Raum, den Innovationen in der Geschichte der Astronomie gebündelt nachzugehen, seien es instrumentelle Entwicklungen, neue Meß- oder Auswertemethoden, neue Weltbilder oder revolutionäre Entwicklungen und spektakuläre Entdeckungen, und damit Material für weitere wissenschaftstheoretische und philosophische Überlegungen bereitzustellen.

Noted biologist and author John Tyler Bonner has experimented with cellular slime molds for more than sixty years, and he has done more than anyone else to raise these peculiar collections of amoebae from a minor biological curiosity to a major model organism--one that is widely studied for clues to the development and evolution of all living things.
