The Nobel Prize-winning scientist's elegant explanation of the fundamental ideas in biology and their uses today.

The renowned biologist Paul Nurse has spent his career revealing how living cells work. In What Is Life?, he takes up the challenge of describing what it means to be alive in a way that every listener can understand.

It is a shared journey of discovery; step-by-step Nurse illuminates five great ideas that underpin biology - the Cell, the Gene, Evolution by Natural Selection, Life as Chemistry, and Life as Information. He introduces the scientists who made the most important advances, and, using his personal experiences in and out of the lab, he shares with us the challenges, the lucky breaks, and the thrilling eureka moments of discovery.

Nurse writes with delight at life's richness and with a sense of the urgent role of biology in our time. To survive the challenges that face us all today - climate change, pandemic, loss of biodiversity and food security - it is vital that we all understand what life is.

Very accesible and entertaining account of the principles of life. The author craftily uses his own personal experience and research to tell the story of the five dimensions that constitute life.

Fascinating presentation of our current understanding of what life is.

Paul Nurse reads his own very interesting book in a gracious and captivating manner. Nurse, a top tier scientist who made key discoveries in his particular field, tells the story of life by presenting unifying principles, and by doing so, creates a clear, concise and amazingly, entertaining tapestry of the evolving living world. I listened to it twice, and I’ll listen again I’m sure. And, such a clear, measured and engaging manner of speaking!

Simply fantastic!

I admire the technical details of explaining mechanics of life and glad author mentioned the DNA and amazement of human brain and even creation of computer programs.

However with such great design from physics to chemical to bio to intelligence, the conclusion of the book is greatness of natural selection.

I want to leave an open question here is: what is this selection? Who is selecting?

Rich evidence of design but still believe in evolution
