{"product_id":"9781480810099","title":"Levolution: Cosmic Order by Means of Thermodynamic Natural Selection","description":"\u003cp\u003eWithout Levolution, there would be no gravity, stars, or life; but up until now,  the self-similar properties these energetic  systems has been obscured. \u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eMichael Gunter, an ecologist, examines the Levolution process, which underlies a whole new paradigm that explains how the universe works and what it is doing.  It is responsible for creating every type  of naturally occurring system we know.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eIn easy-to-understand language, Gunter explains how Levolution is based on simple properties of energy flowing in systems. Learning how it works will help you understand: • the cosmological relevance of energy  and its laws; • the contents of the universe as twenty- three levels of increasing, entropically functional order imposed on a single batch of energy; • that the universe appears to have a purpose.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThe end result is an entirely new perspective on what we call “order” and a new spin on what ancient and recent thinkers have said about the nature of the universe. \u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThe newly proposed Laws of Functional  Order will equip you to understand the  profound role of thermodynamic natural  selection, universal evolution, and the  cosmic order caused by Levolution.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Archway Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47157615132912,"sku":"9781480810099","price":3.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781480810099_p0.jpg?v=1763620324","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781480810099","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
