Life's Edge: The Search for What It Means to Be Alive by Carl Zimmer

Thank you Netgalley for this e-book!
This book explores what it means to be alive and shows how many ways life can be defined in today’s society.
At first I really enjoyed this book, it was informative, scientific and philosophical. In other words it could have been an amazing book. The first few chapters were very strong and interesting however the chapter ‘layouts’ got quite monotonous and predictable. The anecdotes and stories in this book made it engaging but it would have been better if there were some scientific diagrams to help further illustrate points.
I would recommend this book to anyone studying biology or philosophy at university or anyone studying biology or philosophy at a level or ib.
