David B. Dusenbery is Professor of Biology, Emeritus, Georgia Tech.
David Dusenbery's book "Living at Micro Scale" does an excellent
job of explaining the physics that is relevant at this scale and,
later in the book, how this physics affects the behavior of
microorganisms...The book will be accessible and useful to a wide
audience of people interested in biology, physics or engineering.
And the provocative questions presented are sure to be the subject
of intense activity in the research community for years to
come.--Thomas R. Powers"American Scientist" (01/01/2010)
The book draws on 20 years of Dusenbery's own research, and he
doesn't compromise on the science; informed readers will find all
the equations they could need. But it is rarely dry or
uninteresting, and benefits from a liberal scattering of anecdotes
going back 2500 years. My favorite is the idea that Galileo fell
foul of the church because of his atomist view of matter.--Colin
Barras"New Scientist" (03/14/2009)
