Tempos in Science and Nature Structures, Relations, and Complexity

Booknews

Based on the assumption that the interaction between biochemical- physical constraints and ecological global change is not satisfactorily described by current scientific theories, this book is an attempt to present a different gestalt that deals with cross- fertilization among different disciplines, keeping in mind the categories of evolution over time, structure, systemic approach, and complexity. The 54 articles, written by contributors from both science and the humanities, are organized into sections dealing with epistemological concepts of complexity, complex molecular and biological behavior, and the ecological and environmental aspects of complexity.
