Smith C.U.M. Biology of sensory systems
2nd Edition. John Wiley & Sons Ltd, 2008. – 515 pages.
This book arises from the experience of teaching undergraduate classes in the biology of sensory systems over many years. It differs from the many other excellent texts in the subject in that, in addition to the neurobiology, it emphasizes evolution, molecular biology and the wider philosophical implications of the subject. Humans are not the only beings with sensory systems on the surface of this planet.
The study of sensory systems forms a bridge between the world of biophysics, molecular biology, neurophysiology and the world of cognitive science and psychology.

Springer Verlag, 2009, Pages: 626 This book will introduce the reader to the different classes of single-molecule approaches developed over recent years and how these methods can be applied to understand biological systems. Broadly, single-molecule biophysical techniques can be separated into two classes of methods: one that allows us to visualize single molecules, the other to manipulate them. The potential of imaging the emission of single flu...

Taylor & Francis, 2006, Pages: 314 Soft condensed matter physics, which emerged as a distinct branch of physics in the 1990s, studies complex fluids: liquids in which structures with length scale between the molecular and the macroscopic exist. Polymers, liquid crystals, surfactant solutions, and colloids fall into this category. Physicists deal with properties of soft matter systems that are generic and largely independent of chemical deta...

CRC Press, Boca Raton, FL, 2010, 521 Pages In considering ways that physics has helped advance biology and medicine, what typically comes to mind are the various tools used by researchers and clinicians. We think of the optics put to work in microscopes, endoscopes, and lasers; the advanced diagnostics permitted through magnetic, x-ray, and ultrasound imaging; and even the nanotools, that allow us to tinker with molecules. We build these instrume...
