“This book is a passionate account of the life and ideas of Nicolas Rashevsky (1899-1972), one of the earliest proponents of employing quantitative and deductive methods in theoretical biology and a great contributor towards the establishment and recognition of mathematical biology as an independent, institutionalized discipline. … The book is potentially of interest not only to mathematical biologists … but to anyone with interest in the biographies of 20th century remarkable scientists.” (Paul Georgescu, zbMATH 1353.92005, 2017)“The bulk of the text covers Rashevsky’s professional successes and failures during his thirty year academic career at the University of Chicago. … The book mainly focuses on the evolution of his big picture views on how one should use mathematics to study biology and sociology theoretically. … the book will mostly be of interest to people working in mathematical biology who are curious about some of its history and one of its twentieth century pioneers.” (Geoffrey Dietz, MAA Reviews, maa.org, November, 2016)
