Organisms have disappeared from biology as basic, explanatory entities, replaced by genes and their products. This 2007 book is concerned with the rediscovery and redefinition of organisms as the irreducible dynamic systems from which particular types of order emerge, explaining the characteristics of biological forms and their transformations in evolution.
