Excerpt from The Nature and Origin of Living Matter After discussing the many investigations which have been made on this subject Gavarret summarised their results as follows -all these experiments agree in showing that in the muscular system of an animal which accomplishes actual work (such as raising a weight, dragging a load, etc.) everything goes on as in an ordinary steam-engine. While the muscle performs work, the heat produced by the internal combustion becomes divided into two complementary portions; the one part appears as sensible heat, and determines the temperature of the muscle, the other disappears, so far as its existence in the form of heat is concerned, and, by the intervention of the muscular contraction, becomes transformed into mechanical work. The muscle is an animated machine, which, like the steam-engine, utilises the heat in order to produce work: in both cases there is necessarily an equivalence between the heat which disappears, or is consumed, and the external work achieved. In consequence of its origin, the energy manifested during the contraction of the muscle is directly comparable with the energy due to the elasticity of vapour when this is the motor power at work, as in a steam-engine. Chemical Change - combustion, in fact - in each case, in muscle and in steam-engine alike, causes the liberation of heat and in each case part of this liberated force is capable of manifesting itself anew in the form of mechanical energy. It matters not whence the heat is derived - whether it comes from the decomposition of the recently assimilated food products, in the blood which circulates through the muscle, or whether it proceeds from the liberated energy or sun-force that may have been locked up for ages in the bowels of the earth, but which is now set free by a process of combustion in the engine fire -the result is the same, and in the muscle, as much as in the steam-engine, we have to do with a machine in which the trans ference of heat into mechanical energy is capable of being effected.

Excerpt from Biochemistry: A Study of the Origin, Reactions, and Equilibria of Living Matter This book deals intensively with certain of the properties of living matter. It is not meant to be a general textbook on the subject, but to give some prospect of the origin and reactions and balances of living matter. Textbooks by the score already exist describing the details of the anatomy, so to speak, of living matter, but few treatises deal in a fundamental manner with the physiology, or work, of live things. In all chemistry, and, indeed, in all biology, there 'exist these two sides, the structural and the functional, the anatomical and the physiological. The two aspects cannot by any means be divorced, for structure and function go hand in hand, and variations in structure precede and are impelled by variations in function. So evolution of the more complex from the more simple proceeded since first life appeared in the world. It is, however, possible to decide for a school which branch it intends to study; and since the majority of schools in this country have chosen the anatomical side, to restore somewhat the balance, the school of Biochemistry at Oxford will choose the functional side. The book is somewhat composite in character, but it is hoped that it will gain rather than lose interest on that account. The two, Opening chapters were written before the experiments detailed in the six following chapters were carried out. They. Have here been recorded as originally written, and the thoughts expressed in them led to the succeeding experiments; thus there are placed on record the evolution and progress of a research.

The Origin of Life on the Earth covers the proceedings of the First International Symposium of The Origin of Life on the Earth, held at Moscow on August 19-24, 1957. This symposium brings together numerous scientific studies on the evolutionary principles and the different stages in the evolutionary development of matter. This book is organized into seven parts encompassing 60 chapters. The first parts discuss evidence that on the formation of hydrocarbons and their derivatives on the surface of the Earth even before the emergence of life. The subsequent parts are devoted to the many asymmetrical syntheses under the influence of circularly-polarized ultraviolet light, by catalytic reactions occurring on the surface of quartz crystals, and spontaneously by slow crystallization from solutions. These topics are followed by reviews on the possible means of abiogenic formation of amino acids, porphyrins, protein-like polymers, polynucleotides and other high-molecular organic compounds. Considerable chapters explore the complete possibility of the primary formation of these compounds on the surface of the Earth even before life was present on it. Other general topics covered include nucleic acids, nucleoproteins and viruses. The last part considers general biochemical problems connected with the further development of metabolism. This book will be of value to astronomers, physicists, geologists, chemists, and biologists.

Theoretical biology is still in its early stages as an academic discipline. There is even little agreement as to what topics it should deal with or in what manner it should precede; and it is only recently that philosophers felt called upon to notice the relevance of biological topics as evolution or perception to their traditional problems. This work is a publication of the International Union of Biological Sciences, the central organization of all the branches of biology. The main focus here is to explore the possibility of formulating some frame of concepts and methods around which theoretical biology can grow. The intention of this collective effort was that discussions would be concerned, not with the theory of particular biological processes, such as membrane permeability, genetics, and neural activity, but rather with an attempt to discover and formulate general concepts and logical relations characteristic of living as contrasted with inorganic systems. Further, this project is a consideration of implications these might have for general philosophy. Many well-known scientists contributed to this volume, such as J. Maynard Smith, Ernst Mayr, Brian Goodwin, and Renà Thom. The Origin of Life: Toward a Theoretical Biology explores the character of the problems facing any theory of general biology. It contains a series of chapters and exchanges discussing such topics as the origin of life, cellular differentiation, morphogensis, evolution, and indeterminacy in biological and physical systems, the organization of the brain, the statistical mechanics of non-linear oscillators, and many other topics. This is a pioneering volume by recognized leaders in an emerging fieldâthe first of four such works.
