Science with thoughts - a brief reading list

Nietzsche F (1886) Die fröhliche Wissenschaft. A Kröner Verlag Stuttgart:330pp. - »Bioblast link« - Friedrich Nietzsche gave an answer to the question What is life?: Life, that means for us to transform all that we are continuously into lights and flames.
Schrödinger E (1944) What is life? The physical aspect of the living cell. Cambridge Univ Press (1st edition). - »Bioblast link« - What is life? is a good question to ask. For all of us, in biology, physics, economy, arts. Life is the economical processing of resources: energy, materials, information. We all learn from asking the question What is life - finding answers in our own variation and context.
Hofstadter DR (1979) Gödel, Escher, Bach: An eternal golden braid. A metaphorical fugue on minds and machines in the spirit of Lewis Carroll. Harvester Press:499pp. - »Bioblast link« - Douglas Hofstadter, the son of a physics Nobel laureate, gives us a 500 pages (or approximately 800 pages translation into German) explosion of relationships - isomorphic worlds - of music (BACH), pictures (ESCHER), and mathematics (GÖDEL). In the middle is the Ouroboros by ESCHER (1952).
Ende M (1979) The neverending story. Firebird (translation 1983):445pp. - »Bioblast link« - The neverending story takes us with the Ouroboros into a world of fantasy. To quote Nietzsche: These people from past times hada sense for dreaming and did not need primarily to fall asleep.
Talsma WR (1980) Wiedergeburt der Klassiker. Anleitung zur Entmechanisierung der Musik. Wort und Welt Verlag Innsbruck, Thaur 1980. - »Bioblast link« - Rebirth of classics. A guide to the demechanization of music. To be seen in the context of society, science, engineering, energy and life style.
McDougall C (2009) Born to run: the hidden tribe, the ultra-runners and the greatest race the world has ever seen. Profile Books London:287pp. - »Bioblast link« - We met in Norway: 2013 Man in Extreme Environments. In this book, mitochondria were perhaps never mentioned, but the book is full of mitochondria and cell research.
Schatz G (2011) Feuersucher. Die Jagd nach dem Geheimnis der Lebensenergie. Wiley-VCH Verlag, Verlag Neue Zuercher Zeitung, Zuerich:221pp. - »Bioblast link« - Schatz G (2012) The fires of life. Annu Rev Biochem 81: 34–59. - If you think of fire engines, heat engines: Yes - in our cells. A pioneer, ex-Austrian (like Schrödinger) and Gentle Scientist.
Lane N (2002) Oxygen: The molecule that made the world. Oxford Univ Press:374pp. - »Bioblast link«
Lane N (2005) Power, sex, suicide: Mitochondria and the meaning of life. Oxford University Press. 354 pp. - »Bioblast link«
Coopersmith J (2010) Energy, the subtle concept. Oxford Univ Press:400pp. - »Bioblast link« - Power, energy, force, (pressure ?) .. some alchemy is missing, but: a great treatise of the difficulties of finding the right words. In the tradition of alchemy, the Ouroboros is present but hidden.
Kahneman D (2011) Thinking, fast and slow. Penguin Books 499 pp. - »Bioblast link«
Silver N (2012) The signal and the noise. The art and science of prediction. Penguin Press:534 pp. - »Bioblast link« - 85% of biomedical science is not reproducible - a message included in MitoEAGLE.
Perteck D (2017) Das Buch Ouroboros. Gesammelte Legenden von Zauberern und Dämonen. Books on Demand Norderstedt:609pp. - »Bioblast link« - Perhaps, just forget this book and go back to the beginning - there is no end.

Oroboros and Ouroboros

» Oroboros 20 years: Bioblast 2012

MiPart - For many years Mitochondrial Physiology and Art - MiPArt gave us a series of opportunities to meet with colleagues and friends on topics beyond the daily struggles of science and business.

MiPArt and tempo giusto
Engelbert Gagl - download pdf: Using bronce sculptures and steel statues as musical instruments, Engelbert Gagl gives a different meaning to instruments. When we were travelling to symposia, workshops or expeditions with our instruments packed in aluminum boxes or Pelicases, many people thought of Oroboros Instruments as a muscial band.
