Cassell's Laws of Nature by James S Trefil

'All living things on our planet share the same genetic code - we are all just different messages written in the universal language of DNA.' CASSELL'S LAWS OF NATURE is an exciting new work of popular science reference. It describes, in a series of clear and concise A-Z essays, the discovery, significance and functioning of the laws, principles and theories that govern the workings of our physical universe.
