Abstract
SOME ten years ago, Dr. Nicolas Rashevsky, then a young mathematical physicist, turned his mind to biological problems; and ever since he has been writing papers on the borderland between physics and biology, too hard and too speculative for some, but which others have read with great interest and attention.
