Singularities : landmarks on the pathways of life by
Christian De Duve(
)
25 editions published between 2005 and 2006 in English and Undetermined and held by 1,376 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
"This brief but deep book presents a sophisticated consideration of the key steps or bottlenecks that constrain the path to the origin and evolution of life. Christian de Duve, a pioneer of modern cell biology and Nobel laureate, gives in this book a contemporary response to Erwin Schrodinger's tremendously influential What Is Life?, which 60 years ago influenced many of the pioneers of molecular biology. Christian de Duve offers shrewd insights on the conditions that may have first called forth life and surveys the entire history of life, using as landmarks the many remarkable singularities along the way, such as the single ancestry of all living beings, the universal genetic code, and the monophyletic origin of eukaryotes."--Jacket

Vital dust : life as a cosmic imperative by
Christian De Duve(
Book
)
28 editions published between 1994 and 2011 in 6 languages and held by 1,188 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
The author guides us on a wondrous journey through the past four billion years, from the formation of the first biomolecules to the complexities of the human mind, from microscopic chains of amino acids and nucleotides to cataclysmic events in distant galaxies, arriving at the compelling conclusion that the universe is strewn with "vital dust" capable of spawning life anywhere under the right conditions. Life and mind are not accidents; they are natural manifestations of matter. At the heart of Vital Dust is the concept of seven increasingly complex "ages" of life on Earth. With each age, de Duve shows the key event that defined the age and the new event that led to the next. He argues that simple, deterministic chemical reactions put life on track but that other mechanisms led inexorably to greater complexity and biodiversity: the development of a lock-and-key system that serves as the universal device of biological recognition at the molecular level; the emergence of a common ancestor of all organisms, from amoebas to humans; the great oxygen holocaust; the conversion of some bacteria into complex cells; and the successive improvements in reproductive strategies that made possible the spectacular diversity of life on Earth

Christian De Duve(
Book
)
12 editions published between 2010 and 2014 in English and held by 990 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
Increasingly absorbed in recent years by advances in our understanding of the origin of life, evolutionary history, and the advent of human kind, eminent biologist Christian de Duve has pondered the future of life on this planet. Focusing on the process of natural selection, de Duve explores the inordinate and now dangerous rise of humankind.--[book jacket]

Book
)
8 editions published in 1990 in French and held by 88 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
Comment la vie a-t-elle commencé ? Comment les premières cellules se sont-elles formées, multipliées, organisées ?Comment ont-elles évolué en d'autres formes de vie ?Telles sont quelques-unes des questions que se pose Christian de Duve.Le Prix Nobel fait ici appel à ses vastes connaissances de biochimie et de biologie cellulaire et moléculaire pour résumer et évaluer d'une manière critique les théories et spéculations actuelles sur l'origine de la vie. Il présente également, sous une forme convaincante, le fruit de ses propres réflexions, contribution puissante et originale à ce fascinant champ d'étude. Construire une cellule" est le texte le plus actuel et le plus compréhensif sur la nature et l'origine de la vie qui soit disponible aujourd'hui.Dans la Première Partie, de Duve définit les caractères essentiels de la vie (le "plan de base") et explique d'une manière claire et concise les stratégies chimiques fondamentales qui permettent aux cellules de subsister. Il retrace ensuite les stades évolutifs du développement des cellules et révèle sa vision de la première cellule ancestrale d'où sont issues toutes les formes de vie sur Terre. Dans la Deuxième Partie, l'auteur remonte à l'époque prébiotique et retrace les processus chimiques et environnementaux qui ont conduit à l'origine de la vie et débouché sur la première cellule
