The Routledge Handbook of Mechanisms and Mechanical Philosophy
Scientists studying the burning of stars, the evolution of species, DNA, the brain, the economy, and social change, all frequently describe their work as searching for mechanisms. Despite this fact, for much of the twentieth century philosophical discussions of the nature of mechanisms remained outside philosophy of science. The Routledge Handbook of Mechanisms and Mechanical Philosophy is an outstanding reference source to the key topics, problems, and debates in this exciting subject and is the first collection of its kind. Comprising over thirty chapters by a team of international contributors, the Handbook is divided into four Parts: Historical perspectives on mechanisms The nature of mechanisms Mechanisms and the philosophy of science Disciplinary perspectives on mechanisms. Within these Parts central topics and problems are examined, including the rise of mechanical philosophy in the seventeenth century; what mechanisms are made of and how they are organized; mechanisms and laws and regularities; how mechanisms are discovered and explained; dynamical systems theory; and disciplinary perspectives from physics, chemistry, biology, biomedicine, ecology, neuroscience, and the social sciences. Essential reading for students and researchers in philosophy of science, the Handbook will also be of interest to those in related fields, such as metaphysics, philosophy of psychology, and history of science.

This title is an account of how life transforms itself - from the production of bacteria to the emergence of complex civilizations. The author synthesizes the growth of living systems and creative processes, and he reveals that the four great life transformations all revolve around core principles.
DNA Computing and Molecular Programming
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 23th International Conference on DNA Computing and Molecular Programming, DNA 23, held Austin, TX, USA, in September 2017. The 16 full papers presented were carefully selected from 23 submissions. Research in DNA computing aims to draw together mathematics, computerscience, physics, chemistry, biology, and nanotechnology to address the analysis, design, and synthesis of information-based molecular systems. The papers address all areas related to biomolecular computing such as: algorithms and models for computation with biomolecular systems; computational processes in vitro and in vivo; molecular motors and molecular robotics; studies of fault-tolerance and error correction; software tools for analysis, simulation, and design; synthetic biology and in vitro evolution; applications in engineering, physics, chemistry, biology, and medicine.
