The “program” of this book is: “Our aim is to share ideas equally with fellow-biologists and nonspecialists. We invite all our readers to challenge the central idea in this book, the fundamental difference between the living and the non-living, and to improve on it. Any reasonable attempt to answer “What is life?” will help to develop more coherent views about the origin and evolution of life on Earth, the nature and evolution of intelligence, the possibilities for extraterrestrial life, and other big topics.” (Agutter 2007, p. 13)
It deals with a wide range of questions concerning living organisms.
