Oxygen

O Is a very strange thing, and its relationship to Life and Us and All things on Earth is quite amazing. Nick Lane almost manages to vulgarize this--I mean by this that I can understand about half the book. I am fascinated by what we are and how we came to be, a fascination that I think exists since we do exist. Mr. Lane makes a remarquable effort in trying to explain to us how much that one specific element has defined all life as we know it on earth. Still reading it, and I will read it to the end, even if it is a bit technical and tough to understand for a non-scientist like me!
