On Beyond Living: Rhetorical Transformations of the Life Sciences (Writing Science)
Editorial Reviews
Card catalog description
With careful readings of key texts from the history of molecular biology - such as those of Erwin Schrodinger, George Gamow, Jacques Monod, and Francois Jacob - the author maps out the complex relations between the practices of rhetoric and the technoscientific triumphs they accompanied, triumphs that bolstered a "postvital" biology that increasingly elides and questions the boundary between organisms and machines.
