The Common Extremalities in Biology and Physics: Maximum Energy Dissipation Principle in Chemistry, Biology, Physics and Evolution

by Adam Moroz

Overview

The Common Extremalities in Biology and Physics is the first unified systemic description of dissipative phenomena, taking place in biology, and non-dissipative (conservative) phenomena, which is more relevant to physics. Fully updated and revised, this new edition extends our understanding of nonlinear phenomena in biology and physics from the extreme / optimal perspective.

• The first book to provide understanding of physical phenomena from a biological perspective and biological phenomena from a physical perspective
• Discusses emerging fields and analysis
• Provides examples
