It starts with the "strange" physics of matter, including particle physics, atomic and quantum mechanics, cosmology, relativity and their consequences (Chapter 1), and it continues by describing the properties of material systems that are best understood by statistical and phase-space concepts (Chapter 2). These lead to entropy and to the classical picture of quantitative information, initially devoid of value and meaning (Chapter 3). Finally, "information space" and dynamics within it are introduced as a basis for semantics (Chapter 4), leading to an exploration of life and thought as new problems in physics (Chapter 5). Dynamic equations - again of a strange (but very general) nature - bring about the complex familiarity of the world we live in. Surprising new results in the life sciences open our eyes to the richness of physical thought, and they show us what can and what cannot be explained by a Darwinian approach. The abstract physical approach is applicable to the origins of life, of meaningful information and even of our universe. [T]itle presents a vivid argument for a unity of all natural sciences. This unity engenders the 'complex familiarity' of the world in which we live and which can be described in 'strangely simple' theoretical terms, leading to new insights into the mysterious phenomenon of life." --$cFrom publisher's website. 650 4$aScience$xPhilosophy 650 4$aPhysics$xPhilosophy 650 4$aEvolution (Biology)$xPhilosophy 907 $a.b14170851$b28-01-14$c24-01-14 912 $a991002417669707536 945 $aLE006 1:5 EIG$g1$i2006000170536$lle006$op$pE146.06$q-$rl$s- $t0$u0$v0$w0$x0$y.i15586716$z24-01-14 996 $aFrom strange simplicity to complex familiarity$9260669 997 $aUNISALENTO 998 $ale006$b24-01-14$cm$da $e-$feng$genk$h0$i0 LEADER 01238nam2 22002651i 450 001 RML0317525 005 20231121125755.0 100 $a20121121d1987 ||||0itac50 ba 101 | $alat 102 $ait 181 1$6z01$ai $bxxxe 182 1$6z01$an 200 1 $a˜Fasciculum 2.: œ(Tit. 10521-10950)$eIncriptiones in instrumento et Volsiniis et in agro volsiniensi repertae$fediderunt Iuliana Magini, Carella Prada et Maristella Pandolfini Angeletti 210 $aRoma $cConsiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche $d1987 215 $aVIII, 116 p., 58 p. di tav.$cill. , graf.$d41 cm 462 1$1001RML0317524$12001 $aVoluminis tertii$fa cura del Centro di studio per l'archeologia etrusco-italica, del Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche$171002$aConsiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche Centro di studio per l'archeologia etrusco-italica$3RMLV204955 700 1$aMagini$b, Juliana$3RMLV204959$01446413 701 1$aPandolfini Angeletti$b, Maristella$3RMLV204957$0171906 701 1$aPrada$b, Carella$3RMLV204958$01446414 801 3$aIT$bIT-01$c20121121 850 $aIT-FR0017 899 $aBiblioteca umanistica Giorgio Aprea$bFR0017 912 $aRML0317525 996 $aTit. 10521-10950$93633016 997 $aUNICAS
