Essay / Research Paper Abstract
This 4 page paper is a book review of Franklin Harold’s The Way of the Cell: Molecules, Organisms, and the Order of Life, which relates the history and context through which discoveries in cellular biology have occurred. This book further outlines the basic functions and structures of the cell that have been at the heart of recent research. Franklin’s book considers the earliest research into cell biology and both the theoretical and actual structures of the cell, based on research that has occurred since the early 20th century. No additional sources cited.

in cellular biology have occurred, and further outlines the basic functions and structures of the cell that have been at the heart of recent research. Franklins book considers the
earliest research into cell biology and both the theoretical and actual structures of the cell, based on research that has occurred since the early 20th century. The purpose of
Harolds book, then, is to contextualize perspectives on cellular biology and theory, and relate these in terms of the historical context and changing scientific views that have occurred over the
past century. Harold begins by introducing Erwin Schrodinger, an Austrian physicist who escaped Nazi Germany to work on cellular biology at the Institute for Advanced Studies at Trinity College
in Dublin. Schrodinger viewed the research of a number of other researchers, including Max Delbruck, and set the stage for the assessment of DNA through what they both described
as "aperiodic crystal" and "codescript" (Harold, 2001, 2). Schrodingers riddle, then, relates to the efforts to understand the central mechanisms of the biological process and to relate these
in terms of their function and form. It is Harolds contention, then, that simply understanding Schrodingers perspectives is not enough to truly understand the way in which every biological
organism in nature exists. While it is simple to say that the biological "riddle" of life, the understanding of cellular biology, is simply based in understanding structure and function,
it is more significant to recognize the way in which cellular function is differentiated and what elements, including the focus on DNA sequencing, can be used to understand the differences
that are evident in biology. As a result, Harold views the cell as the basic element that must be understood in creating a perspective the structure of all living
