Part III: Biochemical Aspects of Self-Organization
Part IV: Biophysical Aspects
Part V: Chirality and Self-Organization

| The contents include evidence of early life from the oldest
known fossil in the geological record, as well as the prior events of chemical evolution
and self-organization; the question of the chirality of protein amino acids is discussed.
The book provides an excellent introduction to this ever-growing interdisciplinary area of
research in chemistry, physics, and the life sciences. This volume is a Festschrift for
the late Professor Cyril Ponnamperuma in whose honor the Second Trieste Conference was
held. |
