Biophysik: Eine Einführung

Rate this book
Was eignet sich besser zum Einstieg in ein neues Fachgebiet als ein in der Muttersprache verfasster Text? So manch angehender Biophysiker h?tte sich den englischen 'Biophysics' von Cotterill schon lange als deutsche ?bersetzung gew?nscht. Hier ist sorgf?ltig strukturiert und ausgewogen wie das englische Original, mit dem Vorzug der schnelleren Erfa?barkeit.
Vom Molek?l bis zum Bewusstsein deckt der "Cotterill" alle Ebenen ab. Er setzt nur wenig Grundwissen voraus und ist damit f?r die Einf?hrungsvorlesung nach dem Vordiplom ideal. Zus?tzliche Anh?nge mit mathematischen und physikalischen Grundlagen machen das Lehrbuch auch f?r Chemiker und Biologen attraktiv.

Took a while to get through it, but I think it was overall quite an enjoyable read. Compared to other Biophysics texts I have read, it does a pretty standard job at mentioning central tenants to the field and elaborating on them, with enough of detail in a lot of sections to get a sort of crash course. I was especially fascinated by the inclusion of chapters on memory and consciousness, which were both enlightening and well made. This was especially important as the author delved (yikes, am I an AI now?) into his own opinions without sacrificing the objectivity in the book. Great mentions to all those relevant in the field. Would recommend, though not over Philip Nelson's classic text. Still, I think it expands more than Nelson's work and as such offers important new points. PBOC is overrated for biophysics anyway, but certainly a good read. A great addition to the biophysics/biochemistry canon.
