Note(s) : Index
Very llittle in our human experience is truly comparable to the immensely crowded
and bustling interior of a cell. Biological numeracy provides a new kind of understanding
of the cellular world. This book brings together up-to-date quantitative data from
the vast biological literature and uses the powerful tool of "back of the envelope"
estimates to reveal fresh perspectives and insights from numbers commonly encountered
in cell biology. Readers gain a feeling for the sizes, concentrations, energies, and
rates that characterize the lives of cells - thereby shedding new light on the microscopic
realm. -- from back cover
