Nobel laureate Erwin Schrodinger's What is Life? is one of the great science classics of the twentieth century. A distinguished physicist's exploration of the question which lies at the heart of biology, it was written for the layman, but proved one of the spurs to the birth of molecular biology and the subsequent discovery of the structure of DNA. The philosopher Karl Popper hailed it as a 'beautiful and important book' by 'a great man to whom I owe a personal debt for many exciting discussions'. It appears here together with Mind and Matter, his essay investigating a relationship which has eluded and puzzled philosophers since the earliest times. Schrodinger asks what place consciousness occupies in the evolution of life, and what part the state of development of the human mind plays in moral questions. Brought together with these two classics are Schrodinger's autobiographical sketches, published and translated here for the first time. They offer a fascinating fragmentary account of his life as a background to his scientific writings, making this volume a valuable additon to the shelves of scientist and layman alike.

篇幅里很大一部分是高中生物课和物理课学的。但是讲了一些特别特别有趣的问题。比如第一个问题就是，一个原子那么小，为什么人体要搞那么大呢？因为热力学定律/diffusion等等只是统计上成立的，数量不够没法搞。

囫囵吞枣的看完了。话说要是当年物理化学老师在讲熵，热力学定律的时候也能像作者这样满含着热爱的话，没准姐就投奔物理化学去了
