Life on the Edge
The Coming of Age of Quantum BiologyAre we missing a vital ingredient in its creation?

Life is Simple
'The most sheerly enjoyable history of science of recent years' The Spectator'This is one of the best science books I have read in a decade' Paul DaviesLife is Simple tells the remarkable story of how a thirteenth century monk's search for simplicity led to the emergence of the modern world.We begin in the turbulent times of the medieval friar, William of Occam, who first articulated the principle that the best answer to any problem is the simplest. This theory, known as Occam's razor, cut through the thickets of medieval metaphysics to clear a path for modern science. We follow the razor in the hands of the giants of science, from Copernicus, to Kepler, Galileo, Newton, Darwin, Einstein, Rubin and Higgs. Its success suggests that we live in the simplest possible habitable universe and supports the revolutionary theory that our cosmos has evolved.By highlighting the very human passion, curiosity, mistakes and struggles of those who were inspired by Occam's razor to create the modern world, Johnjoe McFadden provides new insight into what science is really about. And that the principle of simplicity is as relevant today as ever.

Leven is eenvoudig
Ockhams scheermes en een nieuwe geschiedenis van de wetenschap en het heelalE-bookIn ‘Leven is eenvoudig’ richt Johnjoe McFadden een monument op voor William van Ockham, een dwarse denker, die volgens hem als oervader van de moderne wetenschapsbeoefening mag worden beschouwd. We volgen het scheermes in de handen van Copernicus, Galilei, Newton, Darwin en Einstein. En passant verklaart McFadden de oorsprong en evolutie van ons heelal. Engeland, veertiende eeuw. Een franciscaner monnik, William van Ockham, gaat in tegen de dan heersende theologische opvatting en scheidt wetenschap van religie. Zijn nieuwe filosofische positie brengt hem in conflict met de paus en Ockham vlucht naar München. Ockhams scheermes (de these dat alle aannames die niet bijdragen aan het verklaren van een verschijnsel moeten worden weggelaten) is tegenwoordig een van de bekendste theoretische principes. Gek genoeg is de naamgever Ockham zelf minder bekend.
