This book is devoted to current ideas and developments in the
biological sciences which stretch into fields such as engineering,
medicine, quantum physics, computer modeling and genetics. In the
past couple of years, biology and medicine have significantly
evolved. The picture of the solitary biologist taking samples from
the field and working in a lab with test tubes and chemical
apparatus is a thing of the past. Today, bio-labs are filled with
scientists across various disciplines like physics, mathematics and
engineering. Most equipment are completely automated and robotic.
They are often controlled by powerful computers acquiring and
processing vast amounts of data for rigorous analysis. These
advances have sped up the rate at which research is done in those
fields. The topics presented in this book are simplified versions
of these advances. Focusing on the how it works explanation, the
notions presented here are made easy and simple to follow. Besides
current research, the book elaborates on novel innovations in
bio-related research (eg: ecosystem simulators, robotic surgery,
natural experimentation and state-of-the-art instrumentation).
Social and economic aspects of modern biology and medicine are also
explored throughout this book; touching on issues related to
disease spread, medical efforts and best scientific practices. The
final part of this book walks through the mechanisms involved in
the evolution of life on our planet. Along these lines, the
evolution of Homo sapiens is briefly visited. In essence, this book
involves taking a closer look at the mechanics of life.
