Description
Erwin Schrödinger's What is Life? is a seminal work of science that has had a profound impact on our understanding of the world. Written for a broad audience, this book played a significant role in the development of molecular biology and the discovery of DNA. It is accompanied by two other notable works: Mind and Matter, which explores a philosophical concept that has puzzled thinkers for centuries, and autobiographical sketches that offer a unique insight into Schrödinger's life and thought. These three works together provide a fascinating glimpse into the life and writings of a Nobel laureate who challenged conventional thinking and pushed the boundaries of scientific inquiry. What is Life? is a thought-provoking exploration of the nature of life and the universe, and is an essential read for anyone interested in science, philosophy, and the human experience. Published in 2012, this reprint of What is Life? offers a valuable opportunity to engage with Schrödinger's ideas and reflect on their relevance to our world today.
