About this book
What Is Life? is a short book by the physicist Erwin Schrödinger, published in 1944 and based on lectures he gave in Dublin. He asks whether the laws of physics and chemistry can explain what happens inside a living cell.
He proposes that the genetic material is a kind of aperiodic crystal that carries a code, an idea that influenced the biologists who later worked out the structure of DNA. This edition also includes Mind and Matter and autobiographical sketches.
