Summary
An introduction to the fundamental concepts of the emerging field of Artificial Chemistries, covering both theory and practical applications.
The field of Artificial Life (ALife) is now firmly established in the scientific world, but it has yet to achieve one of its original goals- an understanding of the emergence of life on Earth. The new field of Artificial Chemistries draws from chemistry, biology, computer science, mathematics, and other disciplines to work toward that goal. For …

Critics Review
This book serves as a premier resource on artificial chemistries, consolidating a breadth of ideas that had yet to be unified in such a way. Even after reading the book I know that I have yet to be finished with it. Readers with minimal scientific backgrounds who are interested in the origins of life, understanding life and evolution as chemical processes, and the innovation of chemistry, will thoroughly enjoy Banzhaf and Yamamoto’s Artificial Chemistries.–Genetic Programming and Evolvable Machines–
