Summary:

Biological networks can exist at the molecular, cellular and population levels, and this textbook, designed for both advanced biology students and researchers in the field, uses a complex systems approach to explore all three worlds. Kepes (U. of Evry, France) edits the work of 25 contributors from all over the world who explain such topics as modularity in biological networks, metabolic networks and even the transmission of infections through a network system. This book is offered as part of the Complex Systems and Interdisciplinary Science series from World Scientific. Annotation ©2008 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
