Insightful and prescient of systems biology
I first encountered this book in my MSc Zoology library at the Pune University in 1998. It had been probably acquired as a part of the Mathematical Biology course. Unfortunately, although the course was run, this book was not used as a textbook- quite a pity.
The biggest strength of this book is that it takes classical phyiological problems as well as more "modern" molecular biological (DNA-RNA-Protein) related problems and frames them in terms of mathematics of non-linear dynamics. The prescience of this book is that this book describes in a textbook manner, what from around 2002 began to be hyped as Systems Biology.
An easy read even for a biologist with some motivation to deal with the mathematics. And possibly even a good "application" orientation for a physicist or mathematician.
