摘要註:	Recent advances suggest that the concept of information might hold the key to unravelling the mystery of life's nature and origin. Fresh insights from a broad and authoritative range of articulate and respected experts focus on the transition from matter to life, and hence reconcile the deep conceptual schism between the way we describe physical and biological systems. A unique cross-disciplinary perspective, drawing on expertise from philosophy, biology, chemistry, physics, and cognitive andsocial sciences, provides a new way to look at the deepestquestions of our existence. This book addresses the role of information in life, and how it can make a difference to what we know about the world. Students, researchers, and all those interested in what life is and how it began will gain insights into the nature of life and its originsthat touch on nearly every domain of science. Presents engaging and authoritative perspectives from experts who are often involved with public engagement in science. Fresh insights provide timely context to recent advances in astrobiology and the search for life beyond Earth. A unique assessment of whether information can make a difference to our understanding of the nature and origins of life. -- Provided by publisher
