The Mechanism of Life
Stéphane Leduc and William Deane Butcher
Can the forms of life be mimicked with chemistry alone? Stephane Leduc built cells and growths from pure solutions, arguing that the mechanism of life follows physical law. Strange, bold, and beautifully illustrated with artificial life-forms. A provocative early venture into the physics and chemistry of the living. For readers drawn to the blurred border between the living and the made.
Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
