The lecture collection book Applied Biophysics is to present fundamental and vital information about biophysics, via the integration of physics and biology into biophysics and is drawn on methods and research of this sciences.
This interdisciplinary, comprehensive, and comparative lecture collection is authored by distinguished scholar and scientist Professor Paata Kervalishvili. It offers expert scholarship on biophysics that is ideal for undergraduate/graduate students as well as for engineers and physicists working in applied sciences.
The book pays particular attention to the topic of unity in the sciences, which is explored through the following questions:
Is there one privileged, most basic or fundamental concept or kind of thing, and if not, how are the different concepts or kinds of things in the universe related?
How the various natural sciences (e. g. Physics, chemistry, biology) be unified into a single overarching theory, and can theories within a single science (e.g., physics, or models of evolution and development in biology) be unified?
Does the unification of these parts of physics and biology involve only matters of fact or are matters of value involved as well?
What kinds of unity, not just units, in these sciences, are there? What roles can unification play in scientific practices, their development, application, and evaluation?
