  Seventy years ago, Erwin Schrodinger posed a
profound question: 'What is life, and how did it emerge from non-life?' This problem has puzzled biologists and physical
scientists ever since.
  Living things are hugely complex and have unique properties, such as self-maintenance and
apparently purposeful behaviour which we do not see in inert matter. So how does chemistry give rise to biology? What
could have led the first replicating molecules up such a path? Now, developments in the emerging field of 'systems
chemistry' are unlocking the problem. Addy Pross shows how the different kind of stability that operates among
replicating molecules results in a tendency for chemical systems to become more complex and acquire the properties of
life. Strikingly, he demonstrates that Darwinian evolution is the biological expression of a deeper, well-defined
chemical concept: the whole story from replicating molecules to complex life is one continuous process governed by an
underlying physical principle. The gulf between biology and the physical sciences is finally becoming bridged.
 

  Review
  "I would recommend this book for readers who
would like a clear introduction to the fundamental chemical concepts that must have been part of the story of the origin
of life." --Reports of the National Center for Science Education
