Mystery of Life

History, origins of life, anatomy and physiology, mathematics and economics, architecture, music and philosophy, in short, the mystery of life and the future of the world. These are the themes of the book. I read in a book review, that the book was written in 160,000 words, in 400 pages. For only 15 shillings it seemed like a good investment. Today I review the book of the Scottish scholar Naomi Mitchison, who passed away at the age of 101, I leaf through and compare it with another book, this one in digital format, which projects its vision of the new world far beyond my future near future.
