The deepest chemistry of life and death is the chemistry of oxygen.

The book presents a new approach to thinking about life and death through the prism of oxygenation – oxidation by oxygen. Learning about oxygenation helps us answer many
questions, such as:
How does oxygen oxidate substances? Is free oxygen necessary for oxidation? When did oxidation become possible? When and how did oxygen start “preparing” the ground for the material aspect of life? Does water have another role, besides being a medium (solvent) in which chemical reactions in all living cells take place? When searching for life beyond the Earth, why do scientists first look for water? How could life emerge? How does life exist? How did ever more complex forms of life emerge? How do individual organisms age and die? What do we know about the answers to these questions from times immemorial until today?

Don’t read other people’s opinions about the book, form your own reading the original. This is your right, but also an obligation to yourself. Don’t let someone’s opinion be a prosthesis for your own, not even  subconsciously.
