Science has no definitive answer to the biggest questions--\"What is life?\" and \"How did life begin on earth?\" In this book, Jan Spitzer reconceptualizes origins research by exploiting a modern understanding of non-covalent molecular forces and covalent bond formation--a physicochemical approach propounded originally by Linus Pauling and Max Delbr?k. Spitzer develops the Pauling-Delbr?k premise as a physicochemical jigsaw puzzle that identifies key stages in life's emergence, from the formation of first oceans, tidal sediments, and proto-biofilms to progenotes, proto-cells and the first cellular organisms.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jan Spitzer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0262045575\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780262045575\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e MIT Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/09\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 248\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.23lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.10w x 0.80d","brand":"Jan Spitzer","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43942955188479,"sku":"9780262045575","price":60.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_7d678e53-5972-4539-a78e-8926f8e4947d.jpg?v=1681495369","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/how-molecular-forces-and-rotating-jan-spitzer-9780262045575","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
