Originalbroschur. Condizione: Sehr gut. 211 S. Einband leicht berieben. Einige Farbstiftanstreichungen oder -anmerkungen, sonst gut. - Inhalt: Mysteries, challenges and fears -- Sparse fabric -- Life on earth -- Stardust in a pond -- A gulf unbridged -- Crystalline life -- An infected world -- From proteins to palaeobiologists -- Worlds such as this one -- The new Creator. - One of the deepest mysteries in science is the question of how we ever came to be here - the mystery of the origins of life. The search for solutions to that mystery leads us into further puzzles and challenges. Is there life elsewhere in the universe? If we can understand how life began, can we recreate its origin in the laboratory? And can we then create new life forms based on our own designs? The idea that life originated spontaneously on the early earth through a long sequence of chemical reactions has become an accepted part of modern scientific dogma. The seven days of God's creation have been replaced with an account that starts with the big bang and a primordial soup, and leads on to 'fishes' that evolved their way onto the land eventually to give rise to us. This tale has been repeated so often and with such conviction that it has almost gained the status of scientific fact. Yet it remains just one - uncertain and incomplete - version of how it all began. In The Creation of Life Andrew Scott casts a critical eye over the explanations of life's origins and evolution offered by modern science, identifying both weaknesses and strengths. He discusses the 'breakthroughs' that have been made, both experimental and theoretical, as well as the many problems that remain unsolved; and he explains in vivid terms the intricacies of the chemicals of life. He also examines the possibilities of life existing elsewhere throughout the universe, and of mankind eventually creating completely novel forms of life. Despite a ferment of new ideas and discoveries, the mystery of life's creation is a biological detective story that is likely to remain unfinished for many years to come. (Verlagstext).
