In "First Life," his remarkably engaging, constantly lucid, and delightfully personal narrative, Deamer takes us behind the scenes of origins research as no one else could. What a story!"--Robert M. Hazen, Senior Staff Scientist, Carnegie Institution, and author of "Genesis: The Scientific Quest for Life's Origins" "David Deamer has written a truly wonderful book. A preeminent scientist in the origin of life field, he has produced a synoptic, wise, and warmly human discussion. Anyone interested in how we came to exist in our universe had best read this book."--Stuart Kauffman, author of "At Home in the Universe: The Search for the Laws of Self-Organization and Complexity" and "Reinventing the Sacred: A New View of Science, Reason, and Religion"
