Beschreibung
Biogenesis provides a detailed, critical discussion of
the modern scientific study of the origin of life. It covers
the entire history, including the biological, geological,
and cosmological background. The author explains the
rationale behind the main assumptions and experimental
strategies of the study of the origin of life, and reviews
its plethora of theories, models, scenarios, and
controversies.
