Industry Reviews

"If Charles Darwin sprang from his grave, I would give him this fine book to bring him up to speed." -- Matt Ridley, author of The Red Queen "Lane lays out processes of dizzying complexity in smooth, nimble prose." -- Kirkus Reviews "Excellent and imaginative and, similar to life itself, the book is full of surprises." -- Nature "The emergence of life itself remains obscure. But as Lane shows with clarity and vigor, fascinating studies on the subject abound." -- The New York Times
