What is Life? Understanding Biology in Five Steps (4022)

In this book, Nobel Prize-winning scientist Paul Nurse takes on the difficult task of defining life in a way that non-biologists can understand. He explains the five big ideas at the heart of biology - the cell, the gene, natural selection, chemistry, and life as information - one by one, charting the common journey of discovery for all living things.
"In this lively book, Sir Paul Nurse, the discoverer of some of the genes that control cell division, dives deep into biology to reveal the five essential features of 'life'. His writing is so informative, each chapter so full of startling facts, that I could not put it down."
SIDDHARTHA MUKHERJEE, AUTHOR OF THE GENE AND THE KING OF ALL DISEASES
