Life on the Edge is a book about quantum biology. Quantum biology is a relatively new field that uses quantum physics and mechanics to explain biological processes. The authors of the book are established researchers at a world-renowned university (University of Surrey), so they are extremely qualified in writing the book.
Each chapter of the book opens with a specific biological puzzle, such as migration and the copying of genes. The authors then explain difficult-to-grasp mechanisms that govern these processes in a language that is understandable to the layperson. They then explain how quantum mechanics play a role in each of these processes.
Life on the Edge is an excellent book for anybody who is curious about how the world works, who asked questions such as "how do the birds know where to go for the winter?" or "how our mind works?" The book answers those questions plus many more.
