Description
"Biophysics: An Introduction, Second Edition" is a concise balanced introduction to this subject. Written in an accessible and readable style, the book takes a fresh, modern approach with the author successfully combining key concepts and theory with relevant applications and examples drawn from the field as a whole. Beginning with a brief introduction to the origins of biophysics, the book takes the reader through successive levels of complexity, from atoms to molecules, structures, systems and ultimately to the behaviour of organisms.The book also includes extensive coverage of biopolymers, biomembranes, biological energy and nervous systems. As well as a thorough update, specific changes for the new edition include some additional material in existing chapters, and a new final chapter on 'Interactions Between Organisms'. It provides end of chapter exercises with answers to encourage student understanding. Assuming little biological or medical knowledge this book is invaluable to a range of students needing an introduction to this evolving, multidisciplinary subject.
