A nice copy. No writing or highlighting. Not ex library, Clean pages, shows very minimal signs of wear from use. Shipped with care in a bubble mailer. Feel free to inquire for photos or more details. --- Richard Boyd traces the chain of cosmic events leading to biological chemistry, beginning with the Big Bang and the formation of the elements before turning to the question of how prebiotic molecules arose. A central focus is the SNAAP (Supernova Neutrino Amino Acid Processing) model, which proposes that homochirality in amino acids was induced in stellar environments through neutrino interactions with nuclear spins, with the relevant mathematics treated at an upper undergraduate level. The volume also examines extremophiles as evidence that life can adapt to severe conditions, and includes an appendix supporting the technical material. Published by IOP Publishing in 2019 as part of its IOP Concise Physics series.

Creating the Molecules of Life discusses origins, including the Big Bang, and the origin of the elements. With a complete presentation and explanation, this book provides evidence that the molecules of life are produced in outer space and how the SNAAP model purports to explain that origin. Extremophiles, which explains that evolution is robust enough to create life forms in a wide variety of conditions, is also presented. Readable for those at the upper undergraduate level, mathematics associated with coupling the nuclear spins to the molecular chirality is discussed. An accompanied appendix is provided to support mathematics.
