The Equations Of Life by Charles S. Cockell
How Physics Shapes Evolution
An accessible exploration of how universal physical and mathematical laws shape the forms, functions, and possibilities of living organisms, from the geometry of cells and the physics of membranes to metabolism, diffusion, and ecosystem dynamics. It argues that life’s diversity is channeled by fundamental constraints, making many biological solutions predictable rather than accidental. By revealing the equations underlying everything from wings and leaves to social structures, it shows why certain patterns repeatedly emerge on Earth and why life elsewhere in the universe would likely be molded by the same principles.
