| "What is Life? : How Chemistry Becomes Biology" |
| "Seventy years ago Erwin Schrodinger posed a profound question 'What is life and how did it emerge from non-life?' This problem has puzzled biologists and physical scientists ever since Living things are hugely complex and have unique properties such as self-maintenance and apparently purposeful behaviour which we do not see in inert matter So how does chemistry give rise to biology? What could have led the first replicating molecules up such a path? Now developments in the emerging field of 'systems chemistry' are unlocking the problem Addy Pross shows how the different kind of stability that operates among replicating molecules results in a tendency for chemical systems to become more complex and acquire the properties of life Strikingly he demonstrates that Darwinian evolution is the biological expression of a deeper well-defined chemical concept the whole story from replicating molecules to complex life is one continuous process governed by an underlying physical principle The"

| "Azar Gat sets out to resolve one of the age-old questions of human existence why people fight and can they stop Spanning warfare from prehistory to the 21st century the book shows that neither an irresistible drive nor a cultural invention deadly violence and warfare have figured prominently in our behavioural toolkit since the dawn of our species People have always alternated between cooperation peaceful competition and violence to attain evolution-shaped human desires A marked shift in the balance between these options has occurred since the onset of the industrial age Rather than modern war becoming more costly (it hasn't) it is peace that has become more rewarding Scrutinizing existing theories concerning the decline of war - such as the 'democratic peace' and 'capitalist peace' - Gat shows that they in fact partake of a broader Modernization Peace that has been growing since 1815 By now war has disappeared within the world's most developed areas Finally Gat explains why the Modernization Peace has been disrupted in the past as during the two World Wars and how challenges to it may still arise They include claimants to alternative modernity - such as China and Russia - anti-modernists and failed modernizers that may spawn terrorism potentially unconventional While the world has become more peaceful than ever before there is still much to worry about in terms of security and no place for complacency"
