They put it better than I can. From the back of the jacket: <br /> <br />Over the last twenty years and more, philosophers and theoretical biologists have built an antireductionist concensus about biology. We have thought that biology is an autonomous discipline without being spooky. While biological systems are built from chemical ones, biological facts are not just physical facts, and biological explanations cannot be replaced by physical and chemical ones. The most consistent, articulate, informed and lucid skeptic about this view has been Alex Rosenberg, and Darwinian Reductionism is the mature synthesis of his alternative vision. He argues that we can show the paradigm facts of biology--evolution and developnment--are built from the chemical and physical, and reduce to them. Moreover, he argues, unpleasantly plausably, that defenders of the consensus must slip one way or the other: into spookiness about the biological, or into a reduction program for the biological. People like me have no middle way. <br />Kim Sterelny <br /> <br />For most philosophers, reductionism is wrong becase it denies the facts of multiple realizability. For most biologists, reductionism is wrong because it involves a commitment to genertic determinism. In this stimulating new book, Rosenberg reconfigures the problem. His Darwinian reductionism denies genetic determinism, and it has no problem with multiple realizability. It captures what scientific materialism should have been all along. <br />Elliot Sober

In the past five years or so there have been a number of interesting developments in cancer diagnosis and therapy. As a result, the National Cancer Institute provided the primary funding for a symposia that for the first time would be devoted to molecular approaches to cancer therapy. It was attended by 515 scientists to hear/see some 71 oral presentations and 241 poster presentations. <br /> <br />This book consists of 59 papers that cover the general topics from the symposia: Cancer Genetics and Genomes; DNA Damage Response; Cancer Biology and Stem Cells; Telomeres, Senescence and Aging; Animal Models for Cancer; Gene Expression and Cancer; Tumor Responses to Microenvironment; Angiogenesis; Discovering Cancer Targets; Therapeutic Approaches. <br /> <br />The authors are specialists in these particular subjects and come from literally around the world.
