This publication, in two volumes, includes most of the scientific papers presented at the first meeting of the International Society for the Study of the Origin of Life (lSSOL), held on June 25-28, 1973 in Barcelona, Spain. The first volume contains the invited articles and the second volume the contributed papers, which also appear in the 1974 and 1975 issues, respectively, of the new journal Origins of Life, published by D. Reidel. A relatively large number of meetings on the subject of the origin of life have been held in different places since 1957. In terms of its organization, scope, and number and nationality of participants, the Conference celebrated last year in Barcelona closely followed the three international conferences held earlier in Moscow, U.S.S.R., 1957, Wakulla Springs, U.S.A., 1963, and Pont-a-Mousson, France, 1970. For this reason the first ISSOL meeting was also named the 4th International Conference on the Origin of Life.

This is a story of courage, unconditional love and redemption. It's the saga of Yellow Kitty and the residents of The Garden. The little animals we all see scurrying here and there in our own back yards and never really pay attention to or get to know. It's their story, their life in The Garden. It's a true story with some slight poetic license taken to enrich the tale. But mostly, it's true and real. It's not a sad story, I promise, but it will touch your heart. It's really an uplifting story with truths told and lessons learned which will leave you, I hope, with some sense of inner knowing of oneself and The Garden in which you live. Some say it's just a children's story, but other's say it's more than that. It's not meant to be one or the other. It just is what it is.
