Great quest. Marshall M.

Michael Marshall is a British scientific journalist whose articles regularly appear on the pages of Observer, Nature, New Scientist and Telegraph. In addition, he is the editor of the BBC Earth website, a well-known television channel specializing in scientific documentary documentary.

“The Great Quest” is the first book of Marshall, for a long time and with the enthusiasm of a global problem of emergence on Earth (or not on Earth, but in the depths of space?) Life. The author took a lot of interviews from the researchers, studied the heritage of those who timidly wondered about the origin of life in past centuries, and was surprised to find that science was seriously interested in the search for an answer to this question only at the beginning of the last century. There are many theories of the emergence of the living, fierce disputes do not subside, and the author analyzes hypotheses in detail, many of which are very exotic.
