Lynn Margulis

What Is Life?

Buch

In What Is Life? Margulis and Sagan have rephrased the answer to Schrödinger's brilliant question by means of a new and spirited explanation of the emergent levels of biological organization. . . . Theirs is a conceptual framework likely to influence future introductions to biology.-E. O. WilsonA witty, exuberant panorama of life that elaborates the place of symbiosis in evolution.-Mary Catherine BatesonThis splendid book shows how much more there is to life than mere reductionist biology. Lynn Margulis and Dorion Sagan tread faithfully in Erwin Schrödinger's footsteps and are his true successors.-James E. Lovelock
