Key idea of Biosemiotics is that the existence of genetic code requires both concept of biological information and biological meaning

Strong attack on doctrine of physicalism that the concept of meaning does not belong to Life Sciences

First comprehensive introduction to new Biosemiotics Science

All leading biosemioticians have contributed

Kritik
From the reviews:

"Biosemiotics is the study of semiotic phenomena in animals, and eventually in all living creatures. ... Each chapter is self-contained; however, the editor has done a remarkable job of maintaining continuity and flow. ... Each contains its own extensive collection of references. The fine index will assist many readers in locating related material from the individually written chapters. Summing Up: Recommended. Graduate students and above." (J. Beidler, CHOICE, Vol. 44 (10), June, 2007)mehr
