Review: Challenges what you thought you knew and provides true insight and a new thoughtful view of "how things actually work"
Review: The book is split in two parts, the first dealing more with the evolution of the atmosphere composition and its effects on the biosphere, the second with aging and death of organisms. To be honest I liked the first part more than the second, but this biased point of view is solely due to the interest I have towards the story of life on Earth. The second section is interesting nonetheless, and conveys really fascinating and new insights into the workings of Nature. Oxygen is central in our lives and in the story of life on Earth more than you think. One recommendation, while reading: keep int account that some sections need specific knowledge of chemistry and biology. The only think I can say is, read it slowly, because it's packed with interesting stuff and it's worth the time that you spend.

*by J***R on 9 September 2017*

but this book gave me so much more! It made me understand life better than I could ever imagine. By studying biochemisty by myself as well as the author Nick Lane, I taught I knew quite a bit about the topic but Nick Lane explained it in such a thrilling and comprehensive way that I felt in love again with my study subject. In the book is explained why we age, and how we can slow down this process and even more it gives so much answeres to life generally and also answeres the question: "What came first? Egg or Hen?" What more can you expect of a book? Great book, great author!!!
