Synopsis

Unites and interweaves the various evidences from astronomy, geology, chemistry, and biology to more thoroughly explore the beginning and first evolutionary steps of life

Argues that life most likely arose in four, interconnected hierarchical stages of increasing complexity--cosmic, geological, chemical, and biological

Contends that the most likely crucible for biosynthesis was a hydrothermal crater lake, where life began to brew
