About This Item
Garden City, New York: Doubleday & Company, Inc, 1962. First edition of Asimov's work on the chemistry of life processes. Octavo, original half cloth. Signed by Isaac Asimov on the title page. Near fine in a near fine dust jacket. Jacket design by Alex Gotfryd. Rare and desirable signed. Isaac Asimov's Life and Energy is an up-to-date introduction, both distinguished and readable, to the chemistry of life processes, in particular the life processes, in particular the workings of the human body. The author's approach - from the physicist's more than the chemist's point of view - is fresh and original.
