Requests:  0 Summary:  Life is the most extraordinary phenomenon in the known universe; but how does it work? It is remarkable that in this age of cloning and even synthetic biology, nobody has ever made anything living entirely out of dead material. Life remains the only way to make life. Are we missing a vital ingredient in its creation? Like Richard Dawkins' The Selfish Gene which provided a new perspective on evolution by shifting the focus of natural selection from organisms to genes, Life On The Edge alters our understanding of life from cells or biomolecules to the fundamental particles that drive life's dynamics. From this new perspective, life makes more sense as its missing ingredient is revealed to be quantum mechanics and the strange phenomena that lie at the heart of this most mysterious of sciences.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status Due Date   Aiea Public Library Adult Nonfiction 572.36 Mc Checked out 06/01/2024 Add Copy to MyList Hana P/S Library Adult Nonfiction 572.36 McFadden missing from shelf   Add Copy to MyList Hawaii State Library Business, Science & Technology 572.36 Mc Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Nonfiction 572.36 McFadden Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kaimuki Public Library Adult Nonfiction 572.36 Mc Checked In   Add Copy to MyList McCully-Moiliili Public Library Adult Nonfiction 572.36 Mc Checked In   Add Copy to MyList
