Every Life Is On Fire

“A unique project that proposes to build a metaphorical bridge between the richness of mythic language and the precision of physical theory. Somewhere below this bridge flow the waters in which biological life first evolved and upon which England is an ecumenical-physicist river guide.”–David Krakauer, president and William H. Miller Professor of Complex Systems, Santa Fe Institute“Illuminating insights into the physics of life.”–Kirkus“In this sparklingly original book, Jeremy England tackles perhaps the biggest scientific question of all – what is life, and how did it emerge from inanimate matter? It’s a delight to read, not only for its charming content, but, because, much like the Hebrew scriptures interwoven throughout the text, the prose flows with a poetic rhythm. I couldn’t put it down.”–Ard Louis, University of Oxford
