This book explores fascinating topics at the edge of life, guiding
the reader all the way from the relation of life processes to the
second law of thermodynamics and the abundance of complex organic
compounds in the universe through to the latest advances in
synthetic biology and metabolic engineering. The background to the
book is the extraordinary scientific adventures that are being
undertaken as progress is made toward the creation of an artificial
cell and the control of life processes. This journey involves input
from research areas as diverse as genetic engineering, physical
chemistry, and information theory. Life is to be thought of not
only as a chemical event but also as an information process, with
the genome a repository of information gathered over time through
evolution. Knowledge of the mechanisms affecting the increase in
complexity associated with evolutionary paths is improving, and
there appear to be analogies with the evolution of the technologies
promoting the development of our society. The book will be of wide
interest to students at all levels and to others with an interest
in the subject.
