This highly interdisciplinary 2007 book highlights many of the ways
in which chemistry plays a crucial role in making life an
evolutionary possibility in the universe. Cosmologists and particle
physicists have often explored how the observed laws and constants
of nature lie within a narrow range that allows complexity and life
to evolve and adapt. Here, these anthropic considerations are
diversified in a host of new ways to identify the most sensitive
features of biochemistry and astrobiology. Celebrating the classic
1913 work of Lawrence J. Henderson, The Fitness of the Environment
for Life, this book looks at the delicate balance between chemistry
and the ambient conditions in the universe that permit complex
chemical networks and structures to exist. It will appeal to a
broad range of scientists, academics, and others interested in the
origin and existence of life in our universe.
