From
In this book, Belgian biochemist de Duve comes across as an exceptionally genial, humanistic scientist. Awarded the 1974 Nobel Prize in medicine for his groundbreaking work in cell biology, de Duve here surveys the scientific approach to understanding how life began, crucial bottlenecks in its increasing complexity, and the question of the contingency versus the inevitability of the entire process. Born in 1917, de Duve regards this presentation as his testament, which perhaps motivates his addressing, periodically in the text, overtly in the final chapter, religious beliefs about the existence of life. Unlike aggressive scientific atheists such as Richard Dawkins, nonatheist de Duve sympathetically reasons through why it is unnecessary to invoke nonphysical influences. On the other hand, he argues against assertions that life and its evolved forms are dumb, naturally selected flukes. Beneath the philosophizing, de Duve delineates biology excellently and authoritatively, introducing it with wonder and curiosity that are bound to excite the next generation. A worthy legacy of a great career. Gilbert TaylorCopyright © American Library Association. All rights reserved
Review
"A well-written, engaging scientific tour de force.... de Duve exhibits an extraordinary skill in conveying his deep knowledge of biology.... Both a first-rate scholar and an accomplished popularizer of science...de Duve moves with equal familiarity and eloquence from scientific papers to French poets.... Life Evolving forces the reader to avoid intellectual complacency and to articulate one's own arguments to effectively address his position. These are, in themselves, major reasons to appreciate the book."--Science
"This book is addressed to the educated lay person interested in the origin of life, its evolution to the present day and its philosophical implications. The reader is in for a treat of unsurpassed lucid and poetic writing. It is the testament of one of the great biologist-philosophers of our time."--Gunter Blobel, Nobel Laureate in Physiology and Medicine
"An original thinker and graceful writer, Christian de Duve is an E.O. Wilson for the cell. In Life Evolving, De Duve lays bare the molecular machinery of life, finding both explanation of our evolutionary past and signs of what it will mean to be human in the twenty-first century."--Andrew H. Knoll, Fisher Professor of Natural History, Harvard University
