Principles Of Organization In Organisms (eBook, PDF)

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

Based on a workshop held at the Santa Fe Institute in June, 1990, this book explores structure in organisms-both physical and dynamical-and presents the current status of the search for natural pathways, principles of organization, and the theory of design for organisms. Topics discussed include dynamical systems analysis; the pathways of evolution; development, physiology, and functional morphology; and the principles of dynamical change in connectivity within the networks of processes.
