WHY DO ELEPHANTS HA THIGH BONES THAN I WHY CAN T OSTRIC^ HOW DO BACTERI STURDIER IANS? fly? WIM THROUGH FLUID With each chapter structured around relevant biological case studies and examples, this engaging, full-color book introduces fundamental physical concepts essential in the study of biological phenomena. Optics is introduced within the context of butterfly wing coloration, electricity is explained through the propagation of nerve signals, and accelerated motion is conveniently illustrated using the example of the jumping armadillo. Other key physical concepts covered include waves, mechanical forces, thermodynamics, and magnetism, and important biological techniques are also discussed within this context, such as gel electrophoresis and fluorescence microscopy. A detailed appendix provides further discussion of the mathematical concepts utilized within the book, and numerous exercises and quizzes allow readers to test their understanding of key concepts. This book is invaluable to students aiming to improve their quantitative and analytical skills and understand the deeper nature of biological phenomena. Christof M. Aegerter is a professor of physics at the University of Zurich. He has extensive research experience in biological and soft condensed matter physics, specifically bioimaging and the dynamics of biological growth. He currently teaches a course for first-year biology students, demonstrating introductory physics with examples from the biological sciences.
