Zusammenfassung: | This highly interdisciplinary book discusses the phenomenon of life, including its origin and evolution (and also human culturalevolution), against the background of thermodynamics, statisticalmechanics, and information theory. Among the central themes is theseeming contradiction between the second law of thermodynamics and thehigh degree of order and complexity produced by living systems. |
