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.
A Review: "This innovative text emphasizes contemporary applications and an intuitive problem-solving approach.

- Where does our energy come from? The Stuff of Life answers these and many more common questions about how the body works in a concise, easy-to-read handbook complete with illustrations.
This book provides an interdisciplinary review of one of the great unsolved mysteries that has fascinated scientists for over 150 years: the origin of chirality in biomolecules.
This text encourages students to develop problem-solving skills with practice exercises, worked examples, and support material.
This is, in fact, a rather stringent definition of "understanding," as it requires the "prediction" of behavior from structure (or structure from behavior). But it also places technical demands on the chemist.
The book will then examine the metabolic pathways that fuel our cells, including glycolysis, the citric acid cycle, and oxidative phosphorylation.
