loginFor me, the journey to the physics of life began in the sixties when I was a theoreticalphysics student searching for a proper subject for a continued carrier. I started with statis-tical thermodynamics and with lattice models. A great challenge at that time was to providea proper theory of phase transitions. At the same time I enjoyed reading about the progressand development of molecular biology, in particular, through articles in ScientificAmerican. I read these articles with a physicist’s mind and thought I saw a lot of physicsaspects. This was exciting. I had and still have a great interest in Nature and biology, a formof which can be seen on the cover of this book.
