Creating a Physical Biology - The Three-Man Paper and Early Molecular Biology

Klappentext In 1935 geneticist Nikolai Timofeeff-Ressovsky! radiation physicist Karl G Zimmer! and quantum physicist Max Delbruck published "On the Nature of Gene Mutation and Gene Structure"! known subsequently as the "Three-Man Paper". This title presents a translation of the "Three Man Paper". "Seventy-six years ago appeared a paper in German about the action of X-rays on the genetic material, written by three authors, hence known as the 'Three-Man Paper.' Here in "Creating a Physical Biology", for the first time, is an excellent English translation of that paper, and alongside it are five essays evaluating its historical significance and philosophical claims. Why so much fuss about a little-known old paper? Read about it, and enter the scientific world of the physics and biology of the 1930s. Away with the retrospect of subsequent knowledge! Find here the Three-Man Paper's context in 1930s Berlin, the target theory, the 1930s gene, and the relation between physics and biology. A very refreshing reevaluation."--Robert Olby, University of Pittsburgh Zusammenfassung In 1935 geneticist Nikolai Timofeeff-Ressovsky! radiation physicist Karl G Zimmer! and quantum physicist Max Delbruck published "On the Nature of Gene Mutation and Gene Structure"! known subsequently as the "Three-Man Paper". This title presents a translation of the "Three Man Paper".
