What makes living organisms different from non-living matter?

In What Is Life?, Nobel Prize-winning physicist Erwin Schr¶dinger explores one of science's greatest mysteries-the nature of life itself. Combining physics and biology, he examines how living systems maintain order, store information, and pass it from one generation to the next.

Schr¶dinger introduces groundbreaking ideas about genetic structure and molecular organization, helping lay the foundation for modern molecular biology. His clear and thoughtful explanations make complex scientific concepts accessible and engaging.

This influential work inspired generations of scientists and contributed to major discoveries, including the structure of DNA. Both scientific and philosophical, it invites readers to reflect on the fundamental principles of existence.

A timeless classic, What Is Life? remains essential reading for anyone curious about science, life, and the deeper laws that govern the natural world.
