This book represents a philosophical and scientific journey that will proceed according to three stages of increasing levels of complexity, beginning with the atom, then moving to macromolecules, and finally moving to the threshold of life. The first stage analyzes the transition from the qualitatively undifferentiated atom to differentiated atoms. The second stage analyzes the passage from atoms to molecule and the third stage examines the passage from molecule to macromolecule.
