Klappentext zu „Kauffman: Origins of Order “
Kauffman here presents a brilliant new paradigm for evolutionary biology, one that extends the basic concepts of Darwinian evolution to accommodate recent findings and perspectives from the fields of biology, physics, chemistry, and mathematics. The book drives to the heart of the exciting debate on the origins of life and maintenance of order in complex biological systems. It explores the concept of self-organization into evolutionary theory--the extent to which selection itself can yield systems able to adapt more successfull. The approaches investigated here may prove to be the new center around which biological science itself may evolove. The work is written for all those interested in the cutting edge of research in the life sciences, including students and researchers in the fields of physics, biophysics, biochemistry, molecular biology, cell and developmental biophysics, biochemistry, molecular biology, cell and developmental biology, ecology, mathematics, philosophy, computer science, and social science. 273 illustration.

Rezension zu „Kauffman: Origins of Order “
... an integrative book that will become a landmark and a classic as we grope towards a more comprehensive and satisfying theory of evolution. Stephen Jay Gould Stuart Kauffman's book ... is a global representation of a new field, that will greatly enhance our physical understanding of Nature ... A superb reading, not limited to physicists and biologists, having most important implications in natural philosophy. Manfred Eigen Here is a big book with a big purpose... The Origins of Order is the first book to be written by any of the complexity theorists themselves, and it presents Kauffman's view of the biological realm... The Origins of Order will be seen as a major work in the progression of biological theory. At the very least, Kauffman has made a persuasive case to have his bold hypothesis heard. Roger Lewin
