Synopsis

How is it that every living thing manages to do what nonliving things cannot do: bring forth and maintain order against the relentless, disordering pressures of the universe? Eminent biophysicist Werner Loewenstein argues that the answer to these questions may be found in applying information theory to biology and physics. Taking us into a fascinating microscopic world, he sheds light on molecular coding and its central role in the development of life. 'A breathtaking account of life's exquisite ingenuity' - Paul Davies
