How Life Works

Book • 2023
In 'How Life Works', Philip Ball presents a new vision of biology, revealing life as a complex system of multiple levels—genes, proteins, cells, tissues, and body modules—each with its own rules and principles.

The book explores how these levels interact and work together, leading to new possibilities in redesigning living systems and potentially regenerating limbs or creating new life forms.
