Everyday low prices and free delivery on eligible orders. Review: I love it in that it shows the power of reason ... - This book is actually magnificent. It's a bit hard to read, i.e. you can't read more than a few pages at a time without losing concentration, but it's not long and is worth it - the guy basically describes DNA 20-odd years prior to its actual discovery from just thinking about it (as in he tells exactly what to look for...). I love it in that it shows the power of reason and logic, unlike what I think of modern 'science' which relies too much on bulk studies without much thought, and doesn't seem to accomplish too much except the publication of semi-conclusive journal papers that no one actually reads. Review: This is one of the best science books ever written. - A classic! A must for anyone with an interest in science. Readable too. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | 1107604664 | | Best Sellers Rank | 27,221 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 3 in Philosophy of Science 41 in Science & Religion 55 in Philosopher Biographies | | Customer reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (1,134) | | Dimensions | 13.97 x 1.14 x 21.59 cm | | Edition | Reprint | | ISBN-10 | 9781107683655 | | ISBN-13 | 978-1107604667 | | Item weight | 281 g | | Language | English | | Part of series | Canto | | Print length | 196 pages | | Publication date | 29 Mar. 2012 | | Publisher | Cambridge University Press | ## Images ![What is Life?

It's a bit hard to read, i.e. you can't read more than a few pages at a time without losing concentration, but it's not long and is worth it - the guy basically describes DNA 20-odd years prior to its actual discovery from just thinking about it (as in he tells exactly what to look for...).

A must for anyone with an interest in science. Readable too. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Definitely worth reading *by N***K on 26 January 2019* I was attracted to this book by a “throwaway” line in the tv programme of the same title. With an interest in philosophy and as a Christian I was fascinated by the approach to this subject from physics and chemistry. it is a hard read even with my limited knowledge of the sciences. However the author attempted to write without using too much technical knowledge. Some pages I had to reread and I dare say I still haven’t grasped all the content! It is an excellent read and I would have given five stars had I been able to understand it!! ## Frequently Bought Together - What is Life?: With Mind and Matter and Autobiographical Sketches (Canto Classics) - Physics and Philosophy: The Revolution in Modern Science - 'Nature and the Greeks' and 'Science and Humanism' (Canto Classics) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pt/products/62856529-what-is-life-canto-classics-with-mind-and-matter-autobiographical](https://www.desertcart.pt/products/62856529-what-is-life-canto-classics-with-mind-and-matter-autobiographical) --- *Product available on Desertcart Portugal* *Store origin: PT* *Last updated: 2026-06-08*
