THE COST OF ORDER
Foundations of Thermodynamic Physiology An Energy-Based Account of Health and Disease Author's Note This book proposes a field. Its claim is that the maintenance of biological order carries a continuous thermodynamic cost, that the capacity to meet that cost relative to demand is a measurable master variable,
