- Summary:
- "The scientific exploration of the origins of life is a multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary field, with information from sources such as biology, geology, astronomy, physics, planetary science, and chemistry. Chemistry is specifically well-oriented to provide an understanding of how life arose since life is primarily a materialistic phenomenon, in which chemicals react in a certain way through the addition of physicochemical energy. This primer is aimed at graduate students who are beginning experiments in origins of life studies and more experienced chemists who would like to gain some understanding of the geology and geochemistry of the early earth."-- Provided by publisher.
