Providing an entirely fresh view of the origins of organization in living systems, this book mounts a powerful challenge to prevailing mechanistic paradigms of ecology. Current work in information theory, ecosystem energetics, and complexity theory combines in a theoretical and empirical toolkit that is better able to measure the developmental status of any living community, and to provide more effective means of ensuring its health.
