Books, Manuscripts
Like Richard Dawkins' 'The Selfish Gene' which provided a new perspective on evolution by shifting our focus on natural selection. This book alters our understanding of life's dynamics. From this new angle, the creation of life makes more sense as its missing ingredient is revealed to be quantum mechanics and the strange phenomena that lie at the heart of this most mysterious of sciences.
