Why read it?
1 author picked Physical Models of Living Systems as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Philip Nelson is a giant in the field of biological physics. I’ve never seen anyone combine words, pictures, mathematical formulas, and computer code so seamlessly into physical models of living systems.
His book might not be as relaxing a read as some others—you really have to do the problems and assignments to get the most out of it—but I can think of no other text that will better teach you how to do science at the interface between physics and biology.
Students beware: It may change your life!
From Brad's list on physics in medicine and biology.
