Addressing the emergence of life from a systems biology perspective, this new edition has undergone extensive revision, reflecting changes in scientific understanding and evolution of thought on the question 'what is life?'. With an emphasis on the philosophical aspects of science, including the epistemic features of modern synthetic biology, and also providing an updated view of the autopoiesis/cognition theory, the book gives an exhaustive treatment of the biophysical properties of vesicles, seen as the beginning of the 'road map' to the minimal cell - a road map which will develop into the question of whether and to what extent synthetic biology will be capable of making minimal life in the laboratory. Fully illustrated, accessibly written, directly challenging the reader with provocative questions, offering suggestions for research proposals, and including dialogues with contemporary authors such as Humberto Maturana, Albert Eschenmoser and Harold Morowitz, this is an ideal resource for researchers and students across fields including bioengineering, evolutionary biology, molecular biology, chemistry and chemical engineering. This new edition provides greater coverage of synthetic biology and includes discussions with contemporaries in the field. Beautifully illustrated with minimal jargon, making it suitable for a broad audience

"I'll begin with a challenging question: Why should anyone want to know about the origin of life? The answers will vary from one person to the next, but the simplest answer is curiosity. Anyone reading this introduction is curious because they wonder how life could have begun on the Earth, but there is more to it than that. My friend Stuart Kauffman wrote a book with the title At Home in the Universe. The title refers to a deep sense of satisfaction that comes when we begin to understand how our lives on Earth are connected to the rest of the universe. There are surprises and revelations as we discover those connections"--

Sait-on que le fer, ce métal qui nous familier, a une histoire, qu'il est né au cœur d'une grosse étoile ? Sait-on que l'ancêtre de tous les éléments chimiques s'appelle l'hydrogène, comme l'ancêtre de tous les êtres vivants s'appelle bactérie ? Dans la Nature, le monde qui nous entoure, tout a une histoire : les formes, la matière, les êtres, les roches, les planètes. L'ensemble, ordonné depuis l'origine de l'Univers jusqu'à nos jours, constitue l'Histoire naturelle. Loin, par son contenu, des mythologies et des livres sacrés, et pourtant si proche par son objet, le récit auquel nous convie Claude Allègre est celui de la longue histoire du Temps. Partant de l'instant initial du big bang, il parcourt à grandes enjambées l'histoire des galaxies, des étoiles, de la Terre, de la Vie, de l'Homme, pour terminer son récit dans le... futur. Pour écrire cette histoire de la Nature, il utilise tout ce que la science moderne a apporté de découvertes depuis les observations astronomiques jusqu'à l'exploration du vivant, en passant par la tectonique des plaques ou l'émergence de l' Homme. De cette fresque se dégage une nouvelle vision des rapports de l'Homme à la Science, à la Connaissance, à Dieu, c'est-à-dire à ses propres incertitudes.
