Biophysics: Searching for Principles
نویسنده
چکیده
Like all authors, I hope that this book will find wide readership. At the same time, I believe that good books are intensely personal objects. As readers, we have our favorite books, and this is an emotional statement, laden with context.1 Similarly, writers bring not just their knowledge and their technical skill to the creation of a book, but also their personalities. In writing something which might be used as a textbook, I feel a responsibility to provide a fair view of the field. But I won’t apologize for giving you my view, which surely is not a consensus view. Indeed, perhaps by the time there is a clear consensus the field won’t be quite as much fun.
