Life: An Introduction to Complex Systems Biology
This book examines life not from the reductionist point of view, but rather asks the what are the universal properties of living systems, and how can one construct from there a phenomenological theory of life that leads naturally to complex processes such as reproductive cellular systems, evolution and differentiation? The presentation is relatively non-technical to appeal to a broad spectrum of students and researchers.

Mind-bending, mightily insightful, yet funnily intuitive.
A masterstroke by Kaneko, I could've never imagined that one could construct life from scratch as a universal dynamical system.
The contemporary incarnation and spiritual successor of Schrodinger's 'What is Life?'
