The Origin of Life on the Earth is
a completely rewritten account of the theories first advanced
in the 1920s by Professor Oparin and published under the
title Origin of Life. This first book aroused great
interest in scientific circles and since it was published
many new discoveries have been made which have tended to
confirm the theories of Oparin. It is with this fresh material
in mind that the new book has been written.
In addition to the interest of the author's
theories, the book will have lasting value because its very
numerous references provide a key to the experiments and
ideas of workers in widely diverse fields of science. It
is not, however, essentially a book for specialists, but
may be read with profit by anybody with a modicum of scientific
education
