The Physics of Life
The renowned scientist examines the mysteries of life and evolution through the lens of physics in this “riveting and poetic” book (Kirkus Reviews, starred review)
In The Physics of Life, Adrien Bejan presents persuasive answers to such profound questions as “What is life, as physics?” and “Why do life, death, and evolution happen?” Heargues that the phenomenon of evolution is much broader and older than the evolutionary designs that constitute the biosphere. It is rooted in the process of power production and distribution that facilitates all movement on Earth, animate or inanimate.
Breaking down concepts such as desire and power, sports health and culture, the state of economy, water and energy, politics and distribution, Bejan uses the language of physics to explain how each system works in order to clarify the meaning of evolution in its broadest scientific sense, moving the reader towards a better understanding of the world’s systems and the natural evolution of cultural and political development.
This is evolution explained loudly but also elegantly, forging a path that flows sustainability.
