"WINDSOR PROCEEDINGS"
For several years, a group of cosmologists in Cambridge (Sir Martin Rees, Robert Crittenden and Neil Turok) and London (Bernard Carr) have been conducting research on the topic of "Fundamental Physics, Cosmology and the Problem of Our Existence." In the course of this work, they have hosted leading scientists from a number of fields to consider whether and in what ways fine-tuning or the so-called anthropic arguments are needed for explaining the emergence of life in the universe. The second of these meetings was held at St. George's House, Windsor Castle, on September 1-3, 2002. The topic was "Fine-Tuning in Living Systems," and the papers will soon appear in a special issue of the International Journal of Astrobiology 2 (2). The authors and Cambridge University Press have graciously allowed us to distribute preprints of those articles that are ready at this time. The article by Drs. Carr and Rees serves as the introduction to the topic and the special issue.
