What is Life? by Schrodinger Erwin
Nobel laureate Erwin Schrodinger's What is Life?, one of the great science classics of the twentieth century appears here together with Mind and Matter. Schrodinger asks what place consciousness occupies in the evolution of life, and what part the state of development of the human mind plays in moral questions.
'This book is a gem with many facets … one can read it in a few hours; one will not forget it in a lifetime' Scientific American
'Erwin Schrödinger, iconoclastic physicist, stood at the pivotal point of history when physics was the midwife of the new science of molecular biology. In these little books he set down, clearly and concisely, most of the great conceptual issues that confront the scientist who would attempt to unravel the mysteries of life. This combined volume should be compulsory reading for all students who are seriously concerned with truly deep issues of science.' Paul Davies
'… this remains a classic, written with great insight and modesty …' Human Nature Review
