Paperback: 224 pages. Publisher: Yale University Press (November 24, 2009). This is an excellent book. It asks why the issue of life has recently once again become useful to biology and it pokes holes in the myriad ways in which biologists have thought they have solved the problem of life. It is crisply written and fairly easy to understand even to the non-specialist.

Michel Morange, Matthew Cobb, Malcolm DeBevoise. Fifty years ago Francis Crick and James D. Watson proposed the double helix model for the DNA molecule. They believed they had, as Crick put it, discovered the "secret of life," and many agreed. But in the intervening years, science has marched-sometimes leaped-forward, and now the question "What is life?" must be posed once again

Fifty years ago Francis Crick and James D. Watson proposed the double helix model for the DNA molecule. They believed they had, as Crick put it, discovered the “secret of life,” and many agreed. But in the intervening years, science has marched—sometimes leaped—forward, and now the question “What is life?” must be posed once again.

 

In this accessible and fascinating book, Michel Morange draws on recent advances in molecular genetics, evolutionary biology, astrobiology, and other disciplines to find today’s answers to the question of life. He begins by discussing the various answers that have been formulated in the past, setting contemporary definitions of life within a rich philosophical and scientific tradition that reaches back to ancient Greece. Then, with impeccable logic and a wealth of appropriate detail, Morange proceeds to lay out the fundamental characteristics that define life. The road to an understanding of life remains incompletely charted, he concludes, but the nature of its final destination is no longer an enigma.

I was premed. Majored in Chemistry. Appreciate all related topics, and have read extensively. Couldn't appreciate this. Boring. Never finished it.

I have no background in biology or molecular science. But I know how to read patiently. I found this text clear and inviting to the layman. Morange takes a very difficult subject, analyses it's most important themes and features, notes important questions, and presents his discussion of those themes, features, and questions in a balanced way. I have a much clearer idea of how to think about the question 'what is life?'. A true gift to any intelligent person.
