    Notes: [Auszug] SirThe impact of genetics on our lives is now obvious to any reader of a daily newspaper. The prospect that Europe may refuse to fund the infrastructure that underpins all biological research is simply extraordinary (see pages 3–4 in this issue). Such research is ...

    Notes: [Auszug] The cliche about designing things by committee is true.

    Notes: [Auszug] Chance is central to the lives of organisms. Birth, reproduction and death all involve encounters with random external events, and so it is scarcely surprising that exact predictions of an individual's lifespan and fertility should be impossible. Random internal events are equally unavoidable, ...

    Notes: [Auszug] British scientists arguing over where to build Diamond, the country's £175 million (US$280 million) next-generation synchrotron (see page 197), should spare a thought for their French colleagues. A decade of plans for a similar French machine, Soleil, were dashed last month by ...

    Notes: [Auszug] This popular book deals with a fascinating aspect of mathematics: the occurrence of zero within the arithmetics of integers and real numbers, and its many representations as numerals. Robert Kaplan is at his best on the latter: a wide range of examples is given, both of numerals and also of ...

    Notes: [Auszug] Modern society relies heavily on petroleum for energy, and life would be very different without it. The term ‘fossil fuel’ effectively informs us that the origin of oil is from the bodies of dead plants and animals, altered initially by microbial decay, and then ‘cooked’ ...

    Notes: [Auszug] ... Working in the late 1960s and early 1970s, a group of American artists rejected formal procedures in art. The result — process art — was possibly the most ephemeral movement in art history; which seems appropriate for art that was centred more on the act than on the final ...
