The common extremalities in biology and physics: maximum energy dissipation principle in chemistry, biology, physics and evolution (2nd ed.)

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 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
