Units of Life

Discover the fascinating insights of Ellen Clarke in her upcoming book, Units of Life, set to be published in 2025 by Oxford University Press. This thought-provoking hardback spans 288 pages and challenges our conventional understanding of the living world. Clarke argues that our tendency to categorize life into distinct units is an idealization that, while useful for practical and theoretical purposes, ultimately oversimplifies the complex and variable nature of life itself. Dive into this compelling exploration that invites readers to rethink how we perceive and conceptualize living organisms. Perfect for anyone interested in biology, philosophy, or the intricacies of life, Units of Life promises to be a valuable addition to your bookshelf.
