"Up to now, we do not have a generally accepted theory about the origin of life and
about the process of development of life, we only have a great number of - to some
extent even contradictory - hypotheses. Meanwhile there came up some scientific findings
beyond thought only a few years ago. Horst Rauchfuss is comparing the different theories
from the view of the latest results and is giving an exciting and easy understandable
insight into the present state of research."--Jacket
