Life Itself : Exploring the Realm of the Living Cell
Life Itself : Exploring the Realm of the Living Cell
Editorial Reviews
The New York Times Book Review, David Papineau
Life Itself is a wonderfully readable digest of everything currently known about the mechanisms by which living cells perform their myriad tasks. . . . The biology of cells might seem a slightly pedestrian topic in these days of gene splicing and molecular engineering. But Mr. Rensberger has chosen his topic well, for the cell is just the right level at which to demonstrate the physical basis of life.

Anndee Hochman, The Philadelphia Inquirer, December 12, 1999
A book so clear and exciting that one keeps turning pages as in a novel, to see what will happen next. His book captures the thrill of scientific discovery and the power of the questions that remain.
