From Atoms to the Tree of Life: An Introduction to Modern Life Science
Sergey Yastrebov’s From Atoms to the Tree of Life offers a comprehensive yet accessible guide to modern biology, framed through the lens of evolution. The book answers fundamental questions: What are living bodies made of, and why is carbon so central? How does the genetic code work? What are viruses, and how did the Cambrian explosion shape life’s history?
Structured in four progressively broader sections—“Chemistry of Life,” “Mechanism of Life,” “Tree of Life,” and “History of Life”—the book can be read as standalone essays. Beginners are encouraged to start at the beginning, while advanced readers can jump to topics of interest. Yastrebov argues that evolution gives coherence to diverse biological puzzles, making this both a primer for curious adults and a rewarding read for professional biologists.
Complex material is presented clearly and engagingly, without oversimplification. Whether you are new to biology or seeking a deeper understanding, this book provides current answers and a unified perspective on life’s intricate story.
