From Cosmic Dust to the First Cell: The Story of Life’s Origins
Ever wondered how planets form, why life is carbon-based, or where else in the universe we might find living things? This book gathers the latest scientific answers to these big questions. While cutting-edge biology isn’t always simple, the author works hard to make the journey clear for readers without a science background.
With logical reasoning and genuine enthusiasm, the narrative traces life’s path—from cosmic dust and meteorites through volcanic hot springs to the emergence of the first living cell. It’s the first-of-its-kind survey of all major recent ideas, hypotheses, and discoveries about life’s origins on Earth. There is no comparable fundamental study in Russian popular science literature—or even in the West.
Despite tackling deep questions in modern biochemistry, genetics, and astrophysics, the author keeps the explanation popular and accessible. This is a neutral, thorough guide to the frontier of origin-of-life science.
