The task of selecting a small number of works from a larger set always contains difficulties. To do this, we need a criterion. In this prologue we are faced with two obstacles. First, define the criteria used here. Second, clarify what we want when we say "new biology" and try to distinguish it from the "other" biology, which we see as traditional, classic or less "new." This second task will only partially solved and the attempt to continue throughout the book and beyond its pages, readers' lives, but this should be a solid foundation. That is why we defined at the outset, this prologue, as open, knowing that only one word to define accurately can be a very difficult and important task. When trying to clarify what is the new biology, by the way, we will see the approach taken in the choice of books. Surely we have made no comment on a few key books which, however, we have included others not so. We recognize this as the error that always accompanies a standard that is, as this prologue, open. However, we emphasis on a feature we've been looking for when choosing books for comment and the time of writing the comments: One must find the strength that, in the language and written text, is guaranteed only by the connection between words and things. What is biology?
