Abstrakt:	"How Life Works: A User's Guide to the New Biology" by Philip Ball is a comprehensive exploration of the organicist approach in biology. The book discusses the shift from the machine metaphor to the organism metaphor in understanding life, particularly in light of the molecular basis of development. The author challenges the traditional "central dogma" of biology and highlights the importance of holistic understanding and feedback in biological processes. While the book does not include perspectives from critics of the New Biology, it provides valuable insights into the ongoing debates and advancements in the field. [Extracted from the article]
