"Harold has cleared a path deep into the perplexities now confrontingbiological theorists. And with rare candor, he acknowledges when thoseperplexities push us to the limit of science, leaving us to wonder and guess. Awork of marvelous penetration and scope."--Booklist, "A leading microbiologist provides thought-provoking insights into thequestion of 'What is Life?' as he examines the relationship of living things tothe inorganic realms of physics and chemistry, explains how lifeless chemicalscome together to form living beings, and details the true complexity ofseemingly simple microorganisms such as E. coli."--Forecast, "A leading microbiologist provides thought-provoking insights into the question of 'What is Life?' as he examines the relationship of living things to the inorganic realms of physics and chemistry, explains how lifeless chemicals come together to form living beings, and details the truecomplexity of seemingly simple microorganisms such as E. coli."--Forecast, "Witty and erudite, this scientific book hails as a literary achievement.Comprehensive and up to date, Franklin Harold traces the roots--historical,thermodynamic, and biochemical--of today's biological revolution."--LynnMargulis, co-author (with Dorion Sagan) of both What is Life? and What isSex?, "The work is like a breath of fresh air in a scientific world otherwiseobsessed with excessive reductionism."--BioEssays, "No matter what it looked like, Harold notes in this instructive survey of modern biological theory, life probably originated in an apparently inhospitable environment, as studies of deep-ocean thermal vents and the lithosphere now point to, rather than in the oceanic 'chemical stew' of old.It's a fascinating story, and Harold tells it ably."--Gregory McNamee, Amazon.com, "Harold has cleared a path deep into the perplexities now confronting biological theorists.

Synopsis
What is life? Fifty years after physicist Erwin Schrodinger posed this question in his celebrated and inspiring book, the answer remains elusive. In The Way of the Cell, one of the world's most respected microbiologists draws on his wide knowledge of contemporary science to provide fresh insight into this intriguing and all-important question., What is life? Fifty years after physicist Erwin Schrodinger posed this question in his celebrated and inspiring book, the answer remains elusive. In The Way of the Cell, one of the world's most respected microbiologists draws on his wide knowledge of contemporary science to provide fresh insight into this intriguing and all-important question. What is the relationship of living things to the inanimate realm of chemistry and physics? How do lifeless but special chemicals come together to form those intricate dynamic ensembles that we recognize as life? To shed light on these questions, Franklin Harold focuses here on microorganisms--in particular, the supremely well-researched bacterium E. coli--because the cell is the simplest level of organization that manifests all the features of the phenomenon of life. Harold shows that as simple as they appear when compared to ourselves, every cell displays a dynamic pattern in space and time, orders of magnitude richer than its elements. It integrates the writhings and couplings of billions of molecules into a coherent whole, draws matter and energy into itself, constructs and reproduces its own order, and persists in this manner for numberless generations while continuously adapting to a changing world. A cell constitutes a unitary whole, a unit of life, and in this volume one of the leading authorities on the cell gives us a vivid picture of what goes on within this minute precinct. The result is a richly detailed, meticulously crafted account of what modern science can tell us about life as well as one scientist's personal attempt to wring understanding from the tide of knowledge., What is life?
