I'm happy to share a new review of my book The Genesis Quest (to complement the two already released). This one comes from science historian Luis A. Campos at the University of New Mexico, author of Radium and the Secret of Life. Campos says:
"The Genesis Quest recounts remarkable episodes in the history of attempts to scientifically understand the origin of life. Combining exceptionally clear expositions of what is scientifically at stake, distinctive humor, and a roving eye for the telling anecdote, this is anything but a tedious scientific genealogy. Marshall has a flair and talent for explaining each individual experiment and its intellectual context. The Genesis Quest offers a well-done romp through some fascinating and complicated terrain."
