Beginnings of Cellular Life

Metabolism Recapitulates Biogenesis

By: Harold J. Morowitz

Develops a model of the origin of life in which cells originate first, proteins follow, and genes evolve last, which is supported by evidence mustered from biology, biochemistry, and biophysics. This work explores the origins of life and is for anyone who has ever thought seriously about the origin of life.

Entropy for Biologists

An Introduction to Thermodynamics

By: Harold J. Morowitz

Entropy for Biologists: An Introduction to Thermodynamics is an introductory book for people in the life sciences who wish to master the concepts of thermal physics without being forced to a degree and rate of symbol manipulation which is foreign to their patterns of thought. The book opens with a chapter on temperature, followed by separate chapters that discuss the concepts of energy, kinetic theory, total energy, the second law of thermodynamics, entropy, and probability and information theory. Subsequent chapters deal with statistical mechanics and its relation to thermodynamics, free-energy functions, applications of the Gibbs free energy and the Gibbs chemical potential, and measurement in thermal physics. The book is primarily directed at those graduate and advanced undergraduate students of biology and biochemistry who wish to develop a sense of confidence about their understanding of the thermal physics which will be useful in pursuing their work. It may also prove useful to professionals who wish to bolster their knowledge in this area.

The Kindly Dr. Guillotin and Other Essays on Science and Life

By: Harold J. Morowitz

In this collection of forty vignettes, biologist Harold Morowitz delights in discovering scientific principles behind such everyday phenomena as doing laundry or registering a car with the DMV. The title essay reflects on the circumstances that caused the name of Joseph Ignace Guillotin to become connected to a mechanical contraption he neither invented, built, nor used. While he relies on the disciplines of science to illuminate life on earth, Morowitz celebrates -- with wonder and wit -- the world's unfathomable mysteries.

La termodinámica de la pizza

Ciencia y vida cotidiana

By: Harold J. Morowitz

Investigar la causa por la que es tan fácil quemarse el paladar al comer pizza, puede ser punto de partida de las interesantes consideraciones termodinámicas, y la aceituna en la copa de Martini, el comienzo de un viaje retrospectivo a través de una serie de importantes conquistas tecnológicas: cualquier pretexto es bueno para que el distinguido biofísico Harold J. Morowitz nos lleve, con un humor y una amenidad que no empañan en absoluto el rigor científico, de lo más particular a lo más general, de la anécdota cotidiana a las leyes universales, de las pequeñas preguntas a las grandes incógnitas y los incesantes esfuerzos del hombre por hallar respuestas. A través de sus ensayos, el autor pasa revista a los temas más apasionantes e insólitos de la ciencia y el pensamiento contemporáneos, desde las posibilidades y riesgos de la ingeniería genética hasta el paralelismo entre cerebros y ordenadores, pasando por las sutiles relaciones entre el béisbol y la filosofía.

Foundations of Bioenergetics

By: Harold Morowitz

Foundations of Bioenergetics provides an introduction to the physical foundations of bioenergetics and the methods of applying these constructs to biological problems. It combines parts of thermal physics, biochemistry, ecology, and cellular and organismic biology into a single coherent work. Much of the material in this volume comes from ""Entropy for Biologists,"" an introductory thermodynamics book aimed particularly at life scientists. Some of the topics originally appeared in the monograph ""Energy Flow in Biology."" The current volume expands on that material with respect to biological applications and attempts to bridge the gap between physics and biology. The book explains basic concepts such as energy, temperature, the second law of thermodynamics, entropy, information theory, and statistical mechanics. It discusses the relations between thermodynamics and statistical mechanics, free-energy functions, radiant energy, the free energy of cells and tissue, chemical kinetics, and cyclic flows. It examines the relationships between energy flows and biological processes; applications of the concepts of Gibbs free energy, chemical potential, and activity; and measurements of temperature, energy, and thermochemical quantities. The book also includes chapters that deal with irreversible dynamics, irreversible theory, and osmotic flow.

The Origin and Nature of Life on Earth

The Emergence of the Fourth Geosphere

By: Eric Smith,Harold J. Morowitz

Uniting the conceptual foundations of the physical sciences and biology, this groundbreaking multidisciplinary book explores the origin of life as a planetary process. Combining geology, geochemistry, biochemistry, microbiology, evolution and statistical physics to create an inclusive picture of the living state, the authors develop the argument that the emergence of life was a necessary cascade of non-equilibrium phase transitions that opened new channels for chemical energy flow on Earth. This full colour and logically structured book introduces the main areas of significance and provides a well-ordered and accessible introduction to multiple literatures outside the confines of disciplinary specializations, as well as including an extensive bibliography to provide context and further reading. For researchers, professionals entering the field or specialists looking for a coherent overview, this text brings together diverse perspectives to form a unified picture of the origin of life and the ongoing organization of the biosphere.
