Title: A revolution in science...
Review: This book will change the way you look at the scientific world.Ulanowicz sets out towards creating a firm mathematical foundation for ecology, and in doing so, he exposes many faulty assumptions that dictate the direction of mainstream science. He doesn't stop with criticism, but instead suggests a new direction that can lead to fruitful advances in all areas of science, and proceeds to develop the beginnings of a new mathematical paradigm for studying complex, real-world systems.Drawing on almost forgotten advances as well as modern research, Ulanowicz weaves together the soft, crude world of ecology with the "hard sciences" of thermodynamics and information theory and comes up with something truly novel. The discussion examines issues as fundamental as causality and the direction of time, and yet remains strongly tied to the real world with examples and data.This book is absolutely indispensable for any scientist.
