This book is aimed at those who wish to understand more about the
molecular basis of life and how life on earth may change in coming
centuries. Readers of this book will gain knowledge of how life
began on Earth, the natural processes that have led to the great
diversity of biological organisms that exist today, recent research
into the possibility of life on other planets, and how the future
of life on earth faces unprecedented pressures from human-made
activities. Readers will obtain a perspective on the potential
risks of chemical or nuclear warfare, and the ever-increasing risks
from human activities that are causing pollution and climate change
with global heating. Readers will also learn about ongoing research
efforts to generate "designer lifeforms" through synthetic biology
and applications of artificial intelligence. The book makes an
integrated, up-to-date, overview of topics often considered as
separate fields. It should be valuable to students, teachers, and
people who are concerned about the future of life.
