Complexity, Chaos, and Biological Evolution [E-Book] / edited by Erik Mosekilde, Lis Mosekilde.
From time to time, perhaps a few times each century, a revolution occurs that questions some of our basic beliefs and sweeps across otherwise well guarded disciplinary boundaries. These are the periods when science is fun, when new paradigms have to be formulated, and when young scientists can do se...
