In "First Life," Deamer offers a delightful synthesis of research into life's dawn with his own vision for how it came to be."--Carl Zimmer, author of "The Tangled Bank: An Introduction to Evolution" "No living scientist has had a greater impact on our understanding of life's origins than Dave Deamer. In "First Life," his remarkably engaging, constantly lucid, and delightfully personal narrative, Deamer takes us behind the scenes of origins research as no one else could. What a story!"--Robert M. Hazen, Senior Staff Scientist, Carnegie Institution, and author of "Genesis: The Scientific Quest for Life's Origins" "David Deamer has written a truly wonderful book. A preeminent scientist in the origin of life field, he has produced a synoptic, wise, and warmly human discussion. Anyone interested in how we came to exist in our universe had best read this book."--Stuart Kauffman, author of "At Home in the Universe: The Search for the Laws of Self-Organization and Complexity" and "Reinventing the Sacred: A New View of Science, Reason, and Religion"
