Description

Pursuing the questions of how we learn and how memory is made, Edward Kosower introduces a novel and rich approach to connecting molecular properties with the biological properties that enable us to write and read, to create culture and ethics, and to think. Here he examines what happens within a single cell in reaction to external stimuli, and sho

Reviews

"Kosower is obviously an excellent teacher, for [his] account weaves together at web of facts about molecular interactions with cogent observations on their biological significance. One gets a sense of a personal view of someone who is sharing a lifetime's experience in the world of molecules. No hype here, only a love of biology for its wondrous mechanics and the deeply satisfying glimpses of the larger truths that move them."--Quarterly Review of Biology
