Summary

** "The Mechanism of Life" by Stéphane Leduc is a scientific exploration from the early 1900s, examining the fundamental physical and chemical processes that drive life, such as osmosis and diffusion. Leduc seeks to connect physics, chemistry, and biology, offering a fresh viewpoint on how life functions at its core. The book starts by explaining why this research is important, tracing how our understanding of life has grown from basic ideas to today's biological science, expressing that living things are complex systems that process matter and energy and explores the vital role of osmosis and ongoing biochemical reactions in keeping life going, preparing readers for a closer look at these ideas. **
