Britain's foremost astrobiologist offers an accessible and
game-changing account of why life is like it is. The puzzles of
life astound and confuse us like no other mystery. But in this
revolutionary new book, Charles Cockell reveals how nature is far
more understandable and predictable than we think. Refining
Darwin's theory of natural selection, Cockell puts forward a
remarkable and elegant account of why evolution has taken the paths
it has. From animals to atoms, he shows that is it not biology, but
physics, which is the true touchstone for understanding life in all
its extraordinary forms. _______________ An intriguing and
enthralling adventure into the physics of life that is all around
us and inside us. Cockell provides a reminder of the seeming rarity
of all this beauty but also an invitation to look up to the skies
and ask 'where else might something like this be?' - Robin Ince -
Presenter of BBC Radio 4's Infinite Monkey Cage Riveting... Cockell
is not only a fine scientist but a fine writer too. - Sir Martin
Rees - Astronomer Royal and former President of the Royal Society
