520    "Over the past forty years a molecular vision has 
       transformed biology. What began as an attempt to 
       understand and explain life by looking at organisms at the
       microscopic level soon led to the rapid development of 
       pathbreaking new technologies and discoveries that would 
       change our understanding of science. In The Black Box of 
       Biology Michel Morange shows that what led to this 
       incredible transformation of biology was not an 
       accumulation of new results, but the molecularization of a
       large part of biology. The expansion led to a cluster of 
       explanatory tools and mechanisms used across biology and 
       medicine. Yet, it was the fusion of the principles and 
       concepts of molecular biology with those of other 
       subdisciplines that led to the most decisive changes, 
       including the discoveries of regulatory RNAs, the 
       development of massive scientific programs like the Human 
       Genome sequencing program, and the emergence of new 
       disciplines like synthetic biology, systems biology, and 
       epigenetics. Yet the progress was not one sided. Morange 
       reveals that molecular biology opened the black box of 
       biology, and in turn, the discipline has been enriched by 
       its expansion"--|cProvided by publisher
