Description

Hardback. New. Diversity and complexity are the hallmarks of living forms. Yet science aims for general causal explanations of its observations - so how can this be achieved in the non-physical sciences? This new book considers whether there can be a general theory in biology and the social sciences, that is in any way equivalent to those seen in physics.
