Con las aves por la Comunidad de Madrid

El descubrimiento del ADN y la posterior secuenciación del genoma humano han llevado hoy en día a un lugar preeminente a la biotecnología. El mundo moderno (científicos, medios de comunicación, políticos...) parece haber concedido a la misma (gracias a su capacidad no sólo de "leer", sino incluso de alterar y reescribir los organismos, corrigiendo así los "errores" de la naturaleza) el papel de intérprete de la vida, como si el poder de la ciencia para manipularla la autorizara también a definir su objeto. En este libro repleto de lucidez y de aguda penetración, Sheila Jasanoff...

As computing power increases, a growing number of macroscopic phenomena are modeled at the molecular level. Consequently, new requirements are generated for the understanding of molecular dynamics in exotic conditions. This book illustrates the importance of detailed chemical dynamics and the role it plays in the phenomenology of a number of extreme environments. Each chapter addresses one or more extreme environments, outlines the associated chemical mechanisms of relevance, and then covers the leading edge science that elucidates the chemical coupling. The chapters exhibit a balance between ...
