«El segundo secreto de la vida» is Ian Stewart's popular science essay, published by Editorial Crítica in paperback (288 pages, in Spanish).
Starting from the structure of DNA, Ian Stewart argues that living beings also obey mathematical principles as profound as genetic information itself. The book surveys examples from the natural world, from the molecular to large organic patterns, and presents a different way of reading biology.
The subtitle of the work is «Las nuevas matemáticas del mundo viviente». Published in 1999, it is part of the Drakontos collection from Editorial Crítica. Translation by Javier García Sanz.
Aimed at readers curious about popular science, especially those who want to explore the link between mathematics and biology.
Ian Nicholas Stewart is a British mathematician and a popular-science, textbooks, and science-fiction books writer. He is Emeritus Professor of Mathematics at the University of Warwick, England.
