Arrival of the Fittest: Solving Evolution's… par Andreas Wagner

This is a brilliant sequel to the the "Paradoxical Life" exploring both how horizontal gene transfer enables the 'arrival of the fittest' but also how much the functioning of any component is fluid. This is a MUST READ book for anyone interested in a deeper probing of evolution.

Paradoxical Life: Meaning, Matter, and the Power of… par Andreas Wagner

This is a MUST Read book - a necessary corrective to to all of us who have been disciplined to belief that logic is the language of the universe. Of course logic is an absolutely necessary and powerful tool - it's just insufficient. The author elaborate how profoundly biology is filled with examples how every material component is surrounded by a field of affordances that cannot be fully enumerated. Thus biology enables matter to find meaningful uses everywhere.

Arrival of the Fittest: How Nature Innovates par Andreas Wagner

Richard Dawkins has said that before Darwin, being an atheist was incomprehensible. I say that before this book, Darwinism itself was little more than substitute religion. Absolutely must read for everyone.
