Summary: A wonderful book from a great mind
Comment: Harold Morwitz spent the majority of his career teaching microbiology & biophysics at Yale university. Last I heard, he was teaching at George Mason university. This is a splendid book which explores the many intricacies of our majestic and yet fragile world. Fans of the books of the late astronomer Carl Sagan will relish the writing style and wisdom of this fine fellow; I find many similarities between he and Morowitz. The book takes you on a journey out to sea where Morowizt ponders some of life's deeper questions. He also gives a detailed description of various constructs of the earth such as the hydrosphere, biosphere, lithosphere, etc. and how they all interact with one another. I would recommend this book to anyone with so much as a passing curiousity in science; even if he or she is not specifically interested in biology per-se. We could all learn a whole lot from this kindly gentleman, I think
