描述：这本全彩色本科教科书以两个学期的课程为基础，介绍了生物物理学的基本原理，介绍了基本的现代主题，包括细胞、聚合物、聚电解质、膜、液晶、相变、自组装、光子学、流体力学、运动学、化学动力学、酶动力学、系统生物学、神经、生理学、感官和大脑。全面的报道，以对最近快速发展的深入解释为特色，表明这是现代科学学科中最多样化的学科之一。生命过程物理学：介观方法由五个主要部分组成：构建块、生物实验技术中的软凝聚态技术、系统生物学尖峰、大脑和感官独特的焦点主要集中在长度尺度上的中尺度结构，介于原子结构和整个有机体的宏观行为上。分子与其新出现的生物现象之间的联系为生物物理提供了一个新的综合视角，使这本书成为一本跨越各种科学学科的重要文本，包括生物物理、物理、物理化学、化学工程和生物工程。一套广泛的工作的教程问题包括在内，这将配备读者的一系列新的物理工具，以处理从医学，制药科学和农业在生命科学的问题。
Description: This full–colour undergraduate textbook, based on a two semester course, presents the fundamentals of biological physics, introducing essential modern topics that include cells, polymers, polyelectrolytes, membranes, liquid crystals, phase transitions, self–assembly, photonics, fluid mechanics, motility, chemical kinetics, enzyme kinetics, systems biology, nerves, physiology, the senses, and the brain. The comprehensive coverage, featuring in–depth explanations of recent rapid developments, demonstrates this to be one of the most diverse of modern scientific disciplines. The Physics of Living Processes: A Mesoscopic Approach is comprised of five principal sections: Building Blocks Soft Condensed Matter Techniques in Biology Experimental Techniques Systems Biology Spikes, Brains and the Senses The unique focus is predominantly on the mesoscale structures on length scales between those of atoms and the macroscopic behaviour of whole organisms. The connections between molecules and their emergent biological phenomena provide a novel integrated perspective on biological physics, making this an important text across a variety of scientific disciplines including biophysics, physics, physical chemistry, chemical engineering and bioengineering. An extensive set of worked tutorial questions are included, which will equip the reader with a range of new physical tools to approach problems in the life sciences from medicine, pharmaceutical science and agriculture.
