Origins of Biocomplexity

The Fundamental Principles of Life in Terms of Physics

About this book

This book presents life phenomena in terms of physics with an element of philosophy. It is written for university graduates and undegraduate students, who are yet to see that there is no clean cut between the different sciences. The physics concepts of nonlinearity, equilibrium, energy, entropy, system, and information are applied to the biological processes of metabolism, organism development and evolution.
