What is Life?

Erwin Schrödinger

Popular Science

Schrödinger's 1944 classic asks how the laws of physics can account for the stability and inheritance of living organisms, anticipating the idea of a molecular genetic code. Roger Penrose, who wrote the foreword to the Cambridge edition, prizes it as a model of how a great physicist can reason boldly across disciplines with disarming clarity.
