John Millam, Ken Klos, and Iain D. Sommerville, Water: Designed for Life (Reasons to Believe 2013).
It’s been quite a while since I published anything on this blog, but it doesn’t mean I haven’t been learning anything worth sharing. I am working on a discussion of Fazale Rana’s Fit for a Purpose: Does the Anthropic Principle Include Biochemistry? (Reasons to Believe 2021), in which he answers the question of the subtitle in the affirmative, and the implications are truly amazing; but it will be a while before that piece is read for publication.
So in the meantime, feast on this thrilling exposition of the miraculous properties of a substance we all take for granted, water, in seven quick strokes:
