Avant-garde information on the integration of the hot wet chaos that is biology with the spooky science of quantum physics. In general, biology and physics have pretty much ignored each other - they pass politely in the hall and will ask favors of each other but they haven't exactly been best fri...

I actually finished this book some time ago and the summer got in the way of writing the review. I have read a number of books on quantum mechanics and can safely say that I only understood less than 50% of what had been said. This book was considerably different. I did have to re-read some of th...

Highly readable, revelatory, up-to-the-minute accounting of the strides made in a new science that have led to discoveries about heretofore unanswered questions in Nature. The authors argue that quantum mechanics is beginning to explain what life is and even how it arose. Readers may struggle to ...

Professors McFadden and Al-Khalili, both at the University of Surrey, have given us an exciting romp through the 'weird' (their word) view of the field of quantum mechanics intersecting that of molecular biology (or perhaps its the other way around) to give us a new way of looking into the origin...

While my profession involved understanding biology and physiology it never entered my mind that quantum physics was involved. The importance of quantum phenomena for enzymes, DNA replication, and smell opened my eyes. I have been fascinated by descriptions of elementary particles for years. It ha...
