This highly unusual book began as a serious inquiry into
Schrödinger's question, “What is life?”, and as a celebration
of life itself. It takes the reader on a voyage of discovery
through many areas of contemporary physics, from non-equilibrium
thermodynamics and quantum optics to liquid crystals and fractals,
all necessary for illuminating the problem of life. In the process,
the reader is treated to a rare and exquisite view of the organism,
gaining novel insights not only into the physics, but also into
“the poetry and meaning of being alive.”This much-enlarged
third edition includes new findings on the central role of
biological water in organizing living processes; it also completes
the author's novel theory of the organism and its applications in
ecology, physiology and brain science.
