Thanks, Frank, 

 

Please write my name and email on the fly leaf so it will find its way back to 
me in the end. 

 

I would be interested to know what you think.  And Hywel, as well.  There’s 
quite a lot of chemistry in it.  I want to ask him, among other things, how we 
tell the difference between a proton gradient and an electron gradient.  

 

I know there must be a difference because protons are much more massive than 
electrons.  

 

How are you?  How is the lad?  How is Debby.

Dear Friammers, 

 

Has anybody had a look at this book?  Its subtitle is “Energy, Evolution, and 
the Origins of Complex Life”.   It is one of those books that I understand well 
enough to know that I should get one of you to explain it to me.  Steve should 
know that it contains the words “Free Energy”.  Also proton gradients.  But the 
rest of you should know that it is NOT written in complexity-speak.  So, it 
seems like a place we might all meet.  You know.  Like in the Old Days.  

 

I have just ordered a copy for myself and had it sent to frank so he can shop 
it around Friam. 

 

Hope that’s ok frank, 

 

In haste, 

 

N
