Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
The Synchronized Flashing Of Fireflies At Night. The Spiraling Patterns Of An Aggregating Slime Mold. The Anastomosing Network Of Armyant Trails. The Coordinated Movements Of A School Of Fish. Researchers Are Finding In Such Patternsphenomena That Have Fascinated Naturalists For Centuriesa Fertile New Approach To Understanding Biological Systems: The Study Of Selforganization. This Book, A Primer On Selforganization In Biological Systems For Students And Other Enthusiasts, Introduces Readers To The Basic Concepts And Tools For Studying Selforganization And Then Examines Numerous Examples Of Selforganization In The Natural World.Selforganization Refers To Diverse Pattern Formation Processes In The Physical And Biological World, From Sand Grains Assembling Into Rippled Dunes To Cells Combining To Create Highly Structured Tissues To Individual Insects Working To Create Sophisticated Societies. What These Diverse Systems Hold In Common Is The Proximate Means By Which They Acquire Order And Structure. In Selforganizing Systems, Pattern At The Global Level Emerges Solely From Interactions Among Lowerlevel Components. Remarkably, Even Very Complex Structures Result From The Iteration Of Surprisingly Simple Behaviors Performed By Individuals Relying On Only Local Information. This Striking Conclusion Suggests Important Lines Of Inquiry: To What Degree Is Environmental Rather Than Individual Complexity Responsible For Group Complexity? To What Extent Have Widely Differing Organisms Adopted Similar, Convergent Strategies Of Pattern Formation? How, Specifically, Has Natural Selection Determined The Rules Governing Interactions Within Biological Systems?Broad In Scope, Thorough Yet Accessible, This Book Is A Selfcontained Introduction To Selforganization And Complexity In Biologya Field Of Study At The Forefront Of Life Sciences Research.
