Transformer: The Deep Chemistry of Life and Death

Transformer by Nick Lane is a groundbreaking exploration of the origins of life, aging, and disease.

This book reveals a scientific renaissance that has been hiding in plain sight - how the same simple chemistry gives rise to life and causes our demise.

Lane takes readers on a journey through the beautiful, violent world within our cells, where hydrogen atoms are stripped from the carbon skeletons of food and fed to the ravenous beast of oxygen.

The Krebs cycle, the "perfect circle" at the heart of metabolism, remains elusive more than eighty years after its discovery, yet it is still spinning at the heart of life and death today.

Transformer will teach you about the mysteries of aging and the hardest problem of all, consciousness.
