What is Life? by Paul Nurse

'A BEAUTIFULLY WRITTEN EXPLORATION OF PERHAPS THE MOST IMPORTANT QUESTION IN SCIENCE.' BRIAN COX ----- Life is all around us, abundant and diverse, it is extraordinary. But what does it actually mean to be alive?
A beautifully written exploration of perhaps the most important question in science * Brian Cox *
A nearly perfect guide to the wonder and complexity of existence * Bill Bryson *
Provides the sort of clarity and understanding that could save many thousands of lives * Philip Pullman *
The writing is so spirited and knowledgeable - and the five sections so full of wondrous revelations - that I could not put it down * Siddhartha Mukherjee *
Sir Paul Nurse won a Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 2001, and has also been awarded the Albert Einstein World Award of Science and French Legion d'Honneur.
