Book Synopsis
Elucidates three origins, or geneses, of life - bacteria, cells, and multicellular organisms - and shows how evolution has sculpted life to its biodiversity through four main events: mutation, recombination, natural selection, and geologic cataclysm. This book emphasizes the role of unions in organizing life.

Trade Review
"Meinesz offers a wonderful tale of how one scientist's tenacity and enthusiasm may bring to light not only the degradation of natural systems but also weaknesses in our approach to science.... Meinesz's elegant and courageous story resembles an epic feat rather than just a narrative. It shows how science survived because of the author's enthusiasm and love, for his work and the biota he studies." - Joseph-Maria Gill, Science"
