The Organism as a Whole, from a Physicochemical Viewpoint
Jacques Loeb
What separates living matter from dead, and where did life begin? Jacques Loeb attacks the question from a physicochemical view, treating the organism as a whole governed by chemistry. Rigorous, bold, and reductive to the core. A landmark argument that life obeys the laws of physics and matter. For readers drawn to the hard science of what living really means. Confront life as chemistry.
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.
