基本説明

A collection of extraordinary essays, reminiscent in many ways - scope, erudition, clarity, occasional whimsicality and sassiness - of Stephen Jay Gould’s essays for Natural History’ Herbert Deinert (Cornell University, N.Y.). A remarkable fusion of science and humanism’ Eugene P. Kennedy (Harvard University, Boston).
Gottfried Schatz was born in 1936 and grew up in Graz, Austria. He played a leading role in elucidating the biogenesis of mitochondria and was a co-discoverer of mitochondrial DNA. His achievements have been honored with numerous prestigious national and international prizes and awards as well as membership of several scientifi c academies. After his retirement in 2000, he presided over the Swiss Science and Technology Council until 2004. Since then he has become known to a wider public as an essayist and book author.

Full Description

Where do we come from? Is our destiny determined by the genes we inherit? Do we all see the same blue color when we look at the sky? In this book Gottfried (Jeff) Schatz, the world-renowned biochemist and co-discoverer of mitochondrial DNA, gives lucid - albeit often surprising - answers to universal questions and takes the reader on a fascinating journey of discovery across the boundaries of scientific disciplines. With passion and a keen sense of wonder, he draws on philosophy, cultural history and art to formulate his reflections on the mystery of life. The key to understanding life is to be found in its chemistry, and he proves that this is no dry endeavor and certainly not devoid of beauty. The result is a collection of eloquently and poetically written essays dealing with key issues in the natural sciences. It will appeal not only to scientists, but to all curious minds, regardless of educational and professional background. (A Karger "Publishing Highlights 1890-2015" title)
