This volume presents 10 papers on chemistry and life science, originally
published in three special issues of the Royal Society's Philosophical
Transactions, which have been re-written for the general reader. Here, "leading
young scientists describe their research and give their visions of future
developments" (from the preface). The contributions are organized into sections
on atoms and molecules in motion, new processes and materials, biological growth
and form, understanding the human body, and understanding the human mind.
