Selected Papers in Molecular Biology by Jacques Monod
Selected Papers in Molecular Biology by Jacques Monod describes the career of a scientist embarking on an uninterrupted journey of great discoveries leading to new concepts and perspectives. This book contains papers written in French or English by Monod and his collaborators. Jacques Monod has dominated a scientific field with his insight and vision. He has seen the direction that future research work will lead to, and so, reaches his goal. Monod is a brilliant scientist and the founder of a renowned school. With a talent to judge the potential of students and young scientists, as well as the ability to evaluate the various aspects of their personalities, Monod has successfully provided his students the projects and challenges that cater most to their interests and gifts. The projects he considers for his students are both productive and solvable challenges. Jacques Monod is generous, and loves both his students and collaborators. This book will be of interest to historians, biographers, academe, and to the general scientific community.
Further Milestones in Biochemistry
The contributors to this text, who are all biochemists who worked during the 1950s and 60s, describe what appears to them to be the conceptually significant developments in biochemistry since the mid 1950s and how these were achieved. Their aim is to make their subjects intelligible to other scientists not expert in their field.
Story Of Genetics, Development And Evolution, The: A Historical Dialogue
This unique story offers an introductory conversation to genetics, embryology and evolution, taking us on a historical journey of biology through the ages. Using a series of dialogues between the Greek philosopher Democritus and his disciple Alkimos, we travel through time visiting eminent scientists throughout the centuries, from Lazzaro Spallanzani and Theodor Boveri to Francis Crick, Max Perutz and Christiane Nüsslein-Volhard. We find ourselves at the intersection of competing theories in biology and witness the progression from the debunking the theory of spontaneous generation to the mapping of the genome. Attention is given not only to the great successes in the field but also to the equally important and exciting failures.Originally published in Hungarian, The Story of Genetics, Development and Evolution provides a historical background to the life sciences, with complex scientific concepts stripped down and explained carefully for academics and anyone interested in going back to the roots and philosophies of scientific progress.Translated from: Jékely G Master, are you awake?
