Author: Brian Fertig

The prism of metabolism and biophysical processes at all levels of physiological organization existent in the human body should be used to analyze chronic illness states of aging . This book employs the viewpoint of a practicing physician to describe the foundations of knowledge in a clear but not very technical language . It combines ideas from five distinct fields of physics , including biophysics , classical electromagnetism, thermodynamics , systems biology  and quantum mechanics , that are relevant to biology and medicine .

Key characteristics :

A thorough and current overview of the study of metabolism , tying together a variety of subjects , from contemporary physical principles and cell biology to clinical applications . provide a more thorough understanding of basic science and multidisciplinary biological systems that broadens viewpoints and therapeutic .
