The Human Genome Project, an international scientific enterprise aimed at attaining a complete sequence and locator map of the entire human genetic structure by the year 2005, constitutes the largest single project ever undertaken in the life sciences. When completed, it will help pinpoint the genetic basis of virtually any human trait. It will also offer the possibility for medical interventions for many diseases and abnormalities related to genetic processes. In this timely collection, scholars from the fields of philosophy, history, ethics, theology, and the natural sciences explore the complex, far-reaching issues surrounding the Human Genome Project.

In 1935 geneticist Nikolai Timoféeff-Ressovsky, radiation physicist Karl G. Zimmer, and quantum physicist Max Delbrück published "On the Nature of Gene Mutation and Gene Structure," known subsequently as the "Three-Man Paper." This seminal paper advanced work on the physical exploration of the structure of the gene through radiation physics and suggested ways in which physics could reveal definite information about gene structure, mutation, and action. Representing a new level of collaboration between physics and biology, it played an important role in the birth of the new field of molecular biology. The paper's results were popularized for a wide audience in the What is Life? lectures of physicist Erwin Schrödinger in 1944. Despite its historical impact on the biological sciences, the paper has remained largely inaccessible because it was only published in a short-lived German periodical. Creating a Physical Biology makes the Three Man Paper available in English for the first time. Brandon Fogel's translation is accompanied by an introductory essay by Fogel and Phillip Sloan and a set of essays by leading historians and philosophers of biology that explore the context, contents, and subsequent influence of the paper, as well as its importance for the wider philosophical analysis of biological reductionism.

1793. En pleine Terreur, la Convention nationale crée le Muséum national d’Histoire naturelle. Le décret du 10 juin confie, à ce qui fut le Jardin du roi, la tâche d’enseigner les sciences naturelles au peuple. Le présent ouvrage retrace les grandes étapes du développement du Muséum en tant qu’Institution, en tant qu’organisme de recherches et en tant que modèle pour l’Europe et le monde. Sur un siècle d’histoire, défilent les difficultés de sa construction administrative dans un contexte politique mouvementé, l’organisation et le développement du travail scientifique de ses savants, la participation de l’établissement aux grandes missions de découvertes comme aux débats scientifiques qui agitent le monde de cette époque. Un siècle, trois générations c’est beaucoup et c’est peu, de la période cruciale de sa fondation, à l’« âge d’or » jusqu’en 1850, jusqu’à la période incertaine précédant la 1ère Guerre mondiale. Ce livre, qui se présente sous forme de contributions d’éminents spécialistes d’histoire des sciences, aborde dans une langue claire et accessible l’histoire des idées et l’histoire d’une institution prestigieuse. À cet égard, son public est aussi vaste que celui qui fréquente le Muséum : chercheurs du monde entier, connaisseurs du patrimoine, amoureux du Jardin des Plantes.
