Jim Al-Khalili (Author)
Professor Jim Al-Khalili, OBE is an academic, author and broadcaster. He is a leading theoretical physicist based at the University of Surrey, where he teaches and carries out research in quantum mechanics. He has written a number of popular science books, including Pathfinders: The Golden Age of Arabic Science. He has presented several television and radio documentaries, including the BAFTA-nominated Chemistry: A Volatile History and The Secret Life of Chaos.
Johnjoe McFadden (Author)
Professor Johnjoe McFadden is Professor of Molecular Genetics at the University of Surrey and is the editor of leading text books on both molecular biology and systems biology of tuberculosis. For over a decade, he has specialised in examining tuberculosis and meningitis, inventing the first successful molecular test for the latter. He is the author of Quantum Evolution and co-editor of Human Nature: Fact and Fiction and writes for the Guardian on topics including GM crops, psychedelic drugs and quantum mechanics.
Life is the most extraordinary phenomenon in the known universe; but how does it work? Even in this age of cloning and synthetic biology, the remarkable truth remains: nobody has ever made anything living entirely out of dead material. Life remains the only way to make life. Are we missing a vital ingredient in its creation?
Like Richard Dawkins' The Selfish Gene, which provided a new perspective on how evolution works, Life on the Edge alters our understanding of life's dynamics. Bringing together first-hand experience of science at the cutting edge with unparalleled gifts of exposition and explanation, Jim Al-Khalili and Johnjoe Macfadden reveal the hitherto missing ingredient to be quantum mechanics and the strange phenomena that lie at the heart of this most mysterious of sciences. Drawing on recent ground-breaking experiments around the world, they show how photosynthesis relies on subatomic particles existing in many places at once, while inside enzymes, those workhorses of life that make every molecule within our cells, particles vanish from one point in space and instantly materialize in another.
Each chapter in Life on the Edge opens with an engaging example that illustrates one of life’s puzzles – How do migrating birds know where to go? How do we really smell the scent of a rose? How do our genes manage to copy themselves with such precision? – and then reveals how quantum mechanics delivers its answer. Guiding the reader through the maze of rapidly unfolding discovery, Al-Khalili and McFadden communicate vividly the excitement of this explosive new field of quantum biology, with its potentially revolutionary applications, and also offer insights into the biggest puzzle of all: what is life? As they brilliantly demonstrate here, life lives on the quantum edge.
上 科普书,似乎总被赋予一种有益的社会功能,普及科学知识。主要是指自然科学知识,而不是社会科学的,因为社会科学根本不是科学,社科的普及读物还叫做社科类,而不是科普。 但现在出版的书都有经济利益的问题,出版商、写书人是要赚钱的。所以现在的科普书会有这样那样的问...
評分书是好书,语言简洁,语料贴近生活,字里行间亦可窥见译者的呕心沥血。然而读完后对于量子学,化学,生物学三者之间的关系,之间是否真能互相支持解释仍然云里雾里。最大的收获是更进一步了解了量子学的内容,应用以及最新科研成果。 摘抄: 1.电子自旋: 电子的自旋无法用速度衡...
評分我五星推荐这一本引人入胜、让人深思的惊世之作,它把坚实的科学理论、合理的推断紧密结合在一起。是我今年第二本看得大呼过瘾的书。作者文笔好,思维清晰,推理严丝合缝。 通常认为,宇宙的起源、生命的起源和意识的起源是科学中的三大谜题。量子力学与第一个问题紧密相关,我...
