The book *Physics and Biology – A Complex Interdisciplinarity* addresses the current topic of the links that can exist between the two disciplines and their different approaches to science. These reflections are grounded in everyday laboratory experiences. A historical overview introduces the concepts in both disciplines. The classic themes of reductionism and complexity are addressed, but the book's originality lies in the exchanges between scientists whose research experiences differ. *Physics and Biology* is intended for all scientists, philosophers, and historians, whether they are students, researchers, academics, or simply citizens. The book presents the two disciplines in their historical context, then explores the themes of reductionism, complexity, and experimental methods. It then addresses evolutionary theories and concludes with a discussion of interdisciplinarity. A call for interaction between science and society concludes the book.
