Originally published in 1950, this book challenged the basis of
our beliefs about the relation of life to matter. Already aware
that chalk, limestone and coal seams are the residues of ancient
life, the author suggests that this knowledge may also be applied
to the rest of matter. In that case, he argues, the origin of the
world was not cosmic upheaval which broke down at last into life,
but organic life itself.
