The book is the first thorough study of the role of phosphorus chemistry in the origin of life. This book starts with depiction of the phosphorus role in life creation and evolution. Then it outlines in vital processes how different phosphorus-containing compounds participate as biomarker in life evolution. Written by renowned scientists, it is suitable for researchers and students in organic phosphorus chemistry, biochemistry and etc.

lt;P>"[...] Istrongly recommend reading this book if you are interested in prebiotic chemistry. It is a short read but it will, in ten successive chapters, explain to you how life has originated on Earth either in small ponds or in the dark chimneys in the ocean ridges with high temperature and high pressure."
