Cosmogenesis: the Growth of Order in the Universe.
David Layzer. - ID: 9222
Stability exists at all levels: atomic, astronomical, and in living systems, both microscopically and macroscopically. Since he has been capable of questioning the world around him, man's curiosity has been aroused by the evolution of order from primordial chaos. In this tour of modern science, eminent astrophysicist David Layzer constructs a unified and harmonious science world view and probes the philosophical implications of current developments in quantum physics, thermodynamics, cosmology and biology.
