THE RAINBOW AND THE WORM - MAE-WAN HO KARTONIER...

This highly unusual book began as a serious inquiry into Schrödinger's question  What is life?
and as a celebration of life itself. It takes the reader on a voyage of discovery through many
areas of contemporary physics  from non-equilibrium thermodynamics and quantum optics to liquid
crystals and fractals  all necessary for illuminating the problem of life. In the process  the
reader is treated to a rare and exquisite view of the organism  gaining novel insights not only
into the physics  but also into the poetry and meaning of being alive. This much-enlarged third
edition includes new findings on the central role of biological water in organizing living
processes  it also completes the author's novel theory of the organism and its applications in
ecology  physiology and brain science.
