Biophysics is the science of physical principles underlying all processes of life, including the dynamics and kinetics of biological systems.

This fully revised 2^nd English edition is an introductory text that spans all steps of biological organization, from the molecular, to the organism level, as well as influences of environmental factors. In response to the enormous progress recently made, especially in theoretical and molecular biophysics, the author has updated the text, integrating new results and developments concerning protein folding and dynamics, molecular aspects of membrane assembly and transport, noise-enhanced processes, and photo-biophysics. The advances made in theoretical biology in the last decade call for a fully new conception of the corresponding sections. Thus, the book provides the background needed for fundamental training in biophysics and, in addition, offers a great deal of advanced biophysical knowledge.

Industry Reviews

From the reviews of the second edition:

"The book under review is one of the most recent releases on textbooks in Biophysics. ... the books presents all the difficulties in understand the physics of biology in a very natural language in a very straightforward format. I really recommend this book for all biology and life science students and I ask for the reader to pay attention to the problems and examples, because there is the true gold." (Philosophy, Religion and Science Book Reviews, bookinspections.wordpress.com, December, 2013)

"The second edition of Glaser's Biophysics is updated and expanded a bit, but retains the perspectives and strengths of the original ... . This is fine book that should be accessible to students in upper-level courses. ... It belongs in all college libraries. Summing Up: Highly recommended. Upper-division undergraduates and above." (K. L. Schick, Choice, Vol. 50 (3), November, 2012)
