Market: Those in economics, especially thermodynamics, statistical
mechanics, cybernetics, information theory, resource use, and
evolutionary economic behavior. This book presents an innovative
and challenging look at evolution on several scales, from the earth
and its geology and chemistry to living organisms to social and
economic systems. Applying the principles of thermodynamics and the
concepts of information gathering and self- organization, the
author characterizes the direction of evolution in each case as an
accumulation of "distinguishability" information--a type of
universal knowledge.
