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.

Long Non-Coding RNA
From Disease Biomarkers to Targeted Therapeutics
Once dismissed as genomic “noise,” Long non-coding RNAs (LncRNAs) are now known to regulate genes and are involved in diverse diseases like cancer. As their mechanisms are still ambiguous, this book provides a comprehensive account of lncRNA research.

Measuring the Evolution Controversy
A Numerical Analysis of Acceptance of Evolution at America's Colleges and Universities
Why do so many people reject evolution? The authors postulate the "incompatibility hypothesis": a fundamental conflict between scientific rationalism and supernatural belief. They test this by examining how education and religiosity impact evolution's acceptance.

The Determination of a Lifespan
A 400-Year-Old Shark and a 40,000-Year-Old Plant
Human lifespan differs by as much as 30 years across the world due to factors like meals, disease, and genes. This book clarifies these factors and suggests how to live longer. It also surveys animals and plants living for 10,000 years or longer.

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.
