New York Times Bestseller and an Amazon Best Science Book of 2015, Life on the Edge alters our understanding of our worlds fundamental dynamics through the use of quantum mechanics
Life is the most extraordinary phenomenon in the known universe; but how did it come to be? Even in an age of cloning and artificial biology, the remarkable truth remains: nobody has ever made anything living entirely out of dead material. Life remains the only way to make life. Are we still missing a vital ingredient in its creation?
Using first-hand experience at the cutting edge of science, Jim Al-Khalili and Johnjoe Macfadden reveal that missing ingredient to be quantum mechanics. Drawing on recent ground-breaking experiments around the world, each chapter in Life on the Edge illustrates one of lifes puzzles: How do migrating birds know where to go? How do we really smell the scent of a rose? How do our genes copy themselves with such precision? Life on the Edge accessibly reveals how quantum mechanics can answer these probing questions of the universe.
Guiding the reader through the rapidly unfolding discoveries of the last few years, Al-Khalili and McFadden describe the explosive new field of quantum biology and its potentially revolutionary applications, while offering insights into the biggest puzzle of all: what is life? As they brilliantly demonstrate in these groundbreaking pages, life exists on the quantum edge.

I picked up 'The Coming of Age of Quantum Biology' after hearing some buzz about it. The insights into how quantum mechanics affects biological processes are mind-boggling. Definitely worth a read for anyone curious about the intersection of science and biology!

Informative but Overly Technical at Times
This book dives deep into some pretty complex topics. While I enjoyed the exploration of quantum biology, I found a few sections a bit dense and hard to grasp. It’s great for those with a solid science background but maybe not the best for casual readers.

A Journey into the Future of Science
Absolutely loved this book! The way it connects quantum physics with biological concepts is revolutionary. It's a new condition book that feels fresh and offers unique perspectives. Highly recommended for those interested in cutting-edge science!

Not What I Expected
I was hoping for a more accessible take on quantum biology. The writing felt a bit dry in parts, and I struggled to connect with some of the theories presented. It's an interesting topic, but I wish it had been more engaging.
