Description

Explore the emergence of the fourth geosphere in this groundbreaking multidisciplinary book from Cambridge University Press. By uniting the conceptual foundations of the physical sciences and biology, this work examines the origin of life as a planetary process. The text combines insights from geology, geochemistry, biochemistry, microbiology, evolution, and statistical physics to build an inclusive picture of the living state. The authors present the argument that life emerged through a necessary cascade of non-equilibrium phase transitions, which created new channels for chemical energy flow on Earth. This full color and logically structured book introduces the main areas of significance for students and researchers in the Earth Sciences.
