C'est d'une telle évidence que nous l'oublions souvent : chacun de nous est le fruit d'une unique cellule microscopique. Dès la fécondation, les divisions cellulaires s'enchaînent, des formes émergent et des membres surgissent. Bientôt, l'échographie révélera un petit coeur, qui se mettra soudain à battre pour quelques milliards de pulsations...Mais comment une seule cellule peut-elle engendrer cette merveille de complexité? Vertigineux, si l'on songe qu'à une autre échelle, cette cellule est le produit de milliards d'années d'évolution, inscrites dans son ADN. Par quel «miracle» la vie est-elle apparue? Et pourquoi présente-t-elle une diversité aussi exubérante, des éléphants jusqu'aux insectes en passant par les bactéries et autres virus? En nous conviant à une odyssée scientifique dont il a été l'un des principaux acteurs, Éric Karsenti dévoile un formidable secret : la vie s'est auto-organisée. Dans la tradition d'un Stephen Jay Gould, il nous conte la façon dont le vivant s'est complexifié, depuis la première cellule jusqu'à la naissance de l'humanité.

1930 Couverture souple Paris, librairie Baillière et Fils, 1930. Un volume in-12 broché (18,5 x 12 cm), couverture imprimée de l'éditeur avec motifs illustrés, petits manques de papier au second plat, charnière inférieure fendue en pied sur 3 cm. 364 pages, illustrées de 56 figures in-texte, papier légèrement jauni. Ce traité de Paul Kayser s'inscrit dans le courant scientifique du début du XXe siècle qui s'efforce de faire le lien entre recherche fondamentale et application agricole. L'ouvrage, pionnier en son genre, explore avec rigueur les rôles des micro-organismes dans les processus biologiques du sol, notamment dans le cycle de l'azote, la décomposition de la matière organique et la symbiose avec les plantes. L'auteur, microbiologiste et agronome, met en lumière les implications pratiques de ces découvertes pour l'amélioration de la fertilité des sols et le rendement des cultures. L'ouvrage témoigne aussi de l'intérêt croissant pour une gestion "biologique" des sols, bien avant l'émergence des pratiques agronomiques modernes telles que l'agriculture biologique ou la permaculture. Bon état intérieur, bon exemplaire de cette cinquième édition revue et corrigée.

First appearance of both papers in which the first three-dimensional model of a protein was presented, essential knowledge for progress in curing human diseases, thus laid the foundation for all structural biology. Kendrew was furthermore one of the first to use a computer in analyzing the data produced by x-ray diffraction. For his essential discovery Kendrew was awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1962. The discovery is widely regarded as being one the most important in the second half of the 20th century within biology and chemistry. ""The first dramatic but hard-won success of the approach [in understanding molecules], the determination of the three-dimensional structure of a protein called myoglobin, was announced in 1958 [in the present paper]. The findings laid the foundation for the age of structure in biology: [.] the paper was the outcome of a truly Herculean task. (Garwin, A century of Nature: twenty-one discoveries that changed science and the world, 2003, Pp. 87-88). The papers they produced (both offered here) are ""the outcome of a truly Herculean task. When the project began, there were no automated instruments or digital computers for generating or analyzing the huge amounts of data necessary. Every step had to be carried out by hand. many repeated thousands of times"" (A Century of Nature, p. 89) “After the war, John Kendrew, a physical chemist who had occupied high offices in operational research during the war and, while on a common mission in Ceylon, had been convinced by Bernal of the promises of protein crystallography, joined Perutz to do a PhD. (Although working closely with Perutz, Kendrew was officially supervised by William T. Taylor, head of the crystallography division at the Cavendish" like most professional crystallographers Taylor regarded protein crystallography as a hopeless undertaking, but still accepted the formal agreement.) Kendrew first embarked on a comparative analysis of fetal and adult hemoglobin, but later switched to the simpler protein myoglobin, the oxygen carrier in muscle.” (DSB) Perutz now managed to attach a heavy atom (mercury) to the hemoglobin molecule. From the difference produced in the diffraction pattern he was able to deduce the phase of the reflections. The method had been known since the 1930s, but it had only been used for small molecules. Although the suggestion to apply the method to proteins dated from the same period, its applicability had not been proved. “The problem consisted, firstly, in finding a heavy metal compound that could be attached to a specific site without altering the arrangement of the other atoms in the molecule and, secondly, in estimating with sufficient accuracy the overall changes in intensity produced by the heavy atoms. In Bragg’s judgment, Perutz’s skill in this last respect was “probably unique” at the time (Bragg, 1965, p. 12). To this day, the isomorphous replacement method is considered the key method to determine the crystal structure of proteins. Kendrew, working on the smaller myoglobin molecule, was the first to take full advantage of the new method. In 1958, he presented the first model ever of a globular protein derived by direct structure determination. The model showed the general outline of the molecule a second model at atomic resolution followed two years later. In the same year Perutz presented the first model of hemoglobin at 5.5 Ångstrøm. Its four subunits proved to be closely related to the myoglobin molecule. The white-and-black disk model built of thermosetting plastic is still widely reproduced.” (DSB) The determination of any of these protein structures could not have been contemplated without the use of ever more powerful electronic computers. Perutz initially distrusted the new calculating devices and resisted resorting to the experimental digital computers developed at the nearby Mathematical Laboratory. Eventually he came around to recognize their usefulness, but he freely admitted that he was always hopeless at computing. He never made use of the machine himself and rather left this part of the work to the younger people in his group. Perutz and Kendrew shared the 1962 Nobel Prize for Chemistry for their work on the structure of proteins.” (DSB) Garrison & Morton: 6911 & 6912

"KNIGHT, THOMAS ANDREW. - INTRODUCING GEOTROPISM IN PLANT GROWTH.
Reference : 46390
(1806)
(London, W. Bulmer and Co., 1806). 4to. No wrappers as extracted from ""Philosophical Transactions"" 1806. With titlepage to 1806, Part I. Pp. 99-108. With a stamp on verso of titlepage.
First apperance of a milestone paper in plant physiology as the concept of tropistic behaviour arose from the experiments described in this paper. Knight showed that forces, generated by means of a water-wheel, made roots and shoots of seedlings orient themselves to centrifugal forces, just as they do to gravity.Knight's investigations on geotropism ""enabled Knight to distinguish between geotropic and hydrotropic reactions of the root, and opened the whole question of tropic responses, of their physical basis and adaptive significance in the lfe of plants.""(Morton, ""History of Botanical Science"", p. 390.).""His most famous work was on what are now called geotropisms. In a letter read by Banks to the Royal Society in 1806, Knight described how he eliminated the influence of gravitation on germinating seeds: He attached them at various angles to the rim of a vertical wheel which was driven by a stream in his garden to revolve continuously at a rate of 150 r.p.m. As the germinating plants grew, each shoot was directed to the center of the wheel" when a shoot passed the center of the wheel its tip turned back so that growth was still centripetal" the roots grew away from the center. Next he set up a similar structure with the wheel horizontal and rotating at 250 r.p.m. so that the seedlings were influenced by both gravitation of the earth an the centrifugal force. In this case, growth was at an angle of 80° to the vertical, the shoot upward and inward, and the root downward and out. Reducing the rotation to 80 r.p.m. decreased the centrifugal force to such an extent that the plants grew at an angle of 45° to the vertical.""(DSB).
