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

"This book 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 ph...
