Reviews

"""A superbly written explanation of how the origin of life on Earth became a question for science and what the answer might be."" -- ""Brian Cox, broadcaster for the BBC, professor of physics at the University of Manchester, and author of Why Does E=mc²?"" ""Just as the last century was regarded as the golden age of physics, so it is becoming increasingly clear that the twenty-first is the century of biology. This book is the perfect 'story so far.'"" -- ""Jim Al-Khalili, broadcaster for the BBC, professor of physics at the University of Surrey, and author of Paradox: The Nine Greatest Enigmas in Physics"" ""Rutherford tells the epic history of life on Earth and eloquently argues the case for embracing technology that allows us to become biological designers."" -- ""Alice Roberts, broadcaster for the BBC, professor of public engagement in science at the University of Birmingham"" ""Suddenly science is close to understanding the Indian rope trick by which life emerged from non-life four billion years ago. Adam Rutherford has written an engaging account of both the mystery and its impending resolution; he has also provided a fascinating glimpse of the impending birth of a new, synthetic biology."" -- ""Matt Ridley, author of Genome"""
