Reflecting a rich technical and interdisciplinary exchange of
ideas, Water and Life: The Unique Properties of H20 focuses on the
properties of water and its interaction with life. The book
develops a variety of approaches that help to illuminate ways in
which to address deeper questions with respect to the nature of the
universe and our place within it.
Grouped in five broad parts, this collection examines the
arguments of Lawrence J. Henderson and other scholars on the
"fitness" of water for life as part of the physical and chemical
properties of nature considered as a foundational environment
within which life has emerged and evolved. Leading authorities
delve into a range of themes and questions that span key areas of
ongoing debate and uncertainty. They draw from the fields of
chemistry, biology, biochemistry, planetary and earth sciences,
physics, astronomy, and their subspecialties. Several chapters also
deal with humanistic disciplines, such as the history of science
and theology, to provide additional perspectives.
Bringing together highly esteemed researchers from
multidisciplinary fields, this volume addresses fundamental
questions relating to the possible role of water in the origin of
life in the cosmos. It supports readers in their own explorations
of the origin and meaning of life and the role of water in
maintaining life.
