Life is everywhere… You only have to observe it to be amazed. What is life? Where does it come from and how is it transmitted? Life is within us and all around us, mysterious, sometimes so powerful and other times so fragile. The book begins with a fun quiz: Is a leaf on a tree alive? And a sheet of paper? And hair and feathers? Then, it immerses us in the origins of life according to religion and science, including the workings of cells, reproduction in humans, animals, and life itself.

Guillaume Duprat is a cosmographer who has spent over 15 years compiling various descriptions of the world throughout the history of science and religion. He often translates these into illustrations for articles and books for children and adults. He has even worked for documentaries, museums, and planetariums!
