Molecular Consciousness: Why the Universe Is Aware of Our Presence
“Francoise Tibika’s wonderfully clear and concise book takes the reader on a step-by-step guide through the laws and processes that construct our reality. Tibika explains the complexity of our world through the living language of molecules; and shows how our molecules are animated by an astonishing coherence that is the basis of our evolutionary imperative. An important read for anyone who wishes to understand how we are a part of the infinite network of information that is our universe.” (Kingsley L. Dennis Ph.D., author of Struggle for Your Mind, New Revolutions for a Small Planet, and)“Molecular Consciousnessbegins with a very lucid and engaging account of the way that chemists currently think about molecules and the reactions they undergo. Those with a taste for speculation will be well rewarded, for the final section of the book is a much more fanciful journey into what, on one distant day, might just conceivably become science.” (Peter Atkins, author of Four Laws that Drive the Universe and On-Being and winner of the Royal Socie)“This is a little gem of a book that does three things very well and very succinctly. First, it provides a clear overview of the development of chemistry from Leucippus and Democritus in the 5th century BCE through Isaac Newton and the alchemists of the Middle Ages, up to the Laws of Thermodynamics modern times and the development of quantum physics and quantum chemistry. The book explains in simple but never simplistic terms the key discoveries and turning points in science that led to our current understanding of atoms, molecules and chemical reactions. Supported with charming illustrations and interesting anecdotes, anyone with even a modicum of interest in science should find it fascinating.” (Miriam Knight, New Consciousness Review, March 2013)“The reality of my own existence is often overwhelming, but this book helped me put that into a context I had never thought of before.” (Rahasya Poe, Lotus Guide Magazine, April 2013)
