Life in the Universe
The year 2003 was the 50th anniversary of the seminal experiment of Stanley Miller. This was a unique opportunity for highlighting the current interest in this most interdisciplinary subject. The leading space agencies: the European Space Agency (ESA) as well as NASA, the American Space Agency, have planned missions that will elucidate some of the still unknown questions underlying research in the origin of life. New results are surpassing our ability to keep well informed: the reviews that we were presented at the Trieste meeting will bring the readers of this well-documented and timely book up to date in this fast-moving area. An important component of the conference was the review of the ...
Searching for Life Across Space and Time
The search for life is one of the most active fields in space science and involves a wide variety of scientific disciplines, including planetary science, astronomy and astrophysics, chemistry, biology, chemistry, and geoscience. In December 2016, the Space Studies Board hosted a workshop to explore the possibility of habitable environments in the solar system and in exoplanets, techniques for detecting life, and the instrumentation used. This publication summarizes the presentations and discussions from the workshop.
Ways of Nature
In Ways of Nature, Dr. Décossard articulates the first theory of evolution since Darwin. By his own account, he stumbled upon his proposed mechanism of eukaryogenesis using a process worthy of the three princes of Serendip. From there, he succeeded in establishing a comprehensive theory of life and the universe. For instance, we learn that a new paradigm, called “ the seeds-first theory,” explains biodiversity among eukaryotic species, such as those of plants and animals. It is interesting to discover what contributions, if any, the theory of natural selection provided to the new model. Nevertheless, the modern version of Darwinism, or neo-Darwinism, has long been engaged in a major ant...
Happy Indoor Garden
A happy plant makes for a happy home and a happy life; find the right plant for each room.

Prebiotic Chemistry and Chemical Evolution of Nucleic Acids
The origin of life is one of the biggest unsolved scientific questions. This book deals with the formation and first steps of the chemical evolution of nucleic acids, including the chemical roots behind the origin of their components from the simplest sources in a geochemical context. Chemical evolution encompasses the chemical processes and interactions conducive to self-assembly and supramolecular organization, leading to an increase of complexity and the emergence of life. The book starts with a personal account of the pioneering work of Stanley Miller and Jeffrey Bada on the Chemistry of Origins of Life and how the development of organic chemistry beginning in the 19th century led to the emergence of the field of prebiotic chemistry, situated at the frontier between organic, geo- and biochemistry. It then continues reviewing in tutorial manner current central topics regarding the organization of nucleic acids: the origin of nucleobases and nucleosides, their phosphorylation and polymerization and ultimately, their self-assembly and supramolecular organization at the inception of life.
