Evolution of Evolution
The Survival Value of Caring
What is desperately needed is the realization of the evolutionary survival value of caring for others. This book links our humanities to a scientific understanding of human destiny to provide a key to meaning. We don’t have ‘forever’ to ‘get it!’

Contemporary biology focuses on genes and molecules, overlooking the living organisms themselves. This book redresses this imbalance by providing a new theory of what organisms are, and then putting it to work by recounting the story of evolution on Earth.

The God Molecule
Evolution of tRNA and the Genetic Code
Transfer RNA (tRNA) is a molecular fossil that tells the story of the evolution of the genetic code and the origin of life. Analysis of its pre-life sequences provides clear insights into how life began and shows why tRNA is required to generate life on Earth or another planet.

How Life Emerges from Inanimate Matter
From Atoms to a Living Individual
This book describes how life emerges from inanimate matter. It analyzes this transition as it occurs in space, from simple particles to individuals; in time, through biological evolution; and in embryonic development, offering a unique, multi-disciplinary analysis of all three.

How Organic Pollutants Poison Our Health
Unsafe at Any Level
Many of the infinite number of organic pollutants that poison our environment are derived from organic-based precursors and can dissolve into a folded protein. This work explains how proteins are made, folded, and function, and discusses the ways in which pollutants affect them.
