The Nature of Life: Readings in Biology

How did life begin? How is it changing? How do we understand our place in the world in relation to other living beings? The Nature of Life: Readings in Biology encourages inquiry-based discussion of scientific writings that attempt to answer universal questions about the nature of life.

The anthology includes 19 original writings by major scientists, from Aristotle to Stephen Jay Gould, and questions designed to spark lively shared inquiry discussion. The Nature of Life: Readings in Biology is ideal for students and adult readers interested in developing a deeper understanding of the life sciences and their connection to ideas that span antiquity to modern times.
