A book which puts the relationship of biology and chemistry in a new light, and comes to the central question from the perspective of a new discipline of 'systems chemistry.' It shows that Darwinian evolution is a subset of a much deeper principle.
Synopsis
Seventy years ago, Erwin Schrodinger posed a profound question: 'What is life, and how did it emerge from non-life?' Scientists have puzzled over it ever since. Addy Pross uses insights from the new field of systems chemistry to show how chemistry can become biology, and that Darwinian evolution is the expression of a deeper physical principle.
