Life on the Edge by Johnjoe McFadden and Jim Al-Khalili


If you have read Johnjoe McFadden’s “Quantum Evolution”, you will enjoy his new book “Life on the Edge”.  You do not need a doctorate or major in biology to appreciate this book.  Many of us have heard the term quantum mechanics, quantum evolution, quantum biology, etc. but most of us have little understanding how it applies to our lives.  The authors Johnjoe McFadden and Jim Al-Khalili lead you through examples most of us will understand to help grasp the ideas around quantum biology.  They begin with what is life then move on to the engines of life.  Further, into the book the authors use the example of robins migration and how they know when and where to migrate along with the connections to quantum biology.  They then explore the mind and its relationship with quantum biology.  They conclude the book with how life began and how the book got it name with a chapter talking about life on the edge of a storm, quantum life.
I received a free copy of this book from WaterBrook Multnomah in exchange for my honest review of the book.
