  • ……能准确反映我观点的资料。不过这里有我知道的几个信息源:* Complexity Explorer 上的“Origins of Life”课程 * 《The Origin and Nature of Life on Earth: The Emergence of the Fourth Geosphere》 * 《Every Life Is on Fire: How Thermodynamics Explains the Origins of Living Things》

    …an accurate portrayal of my argument. But here's sources I know of. * Origins of Life course on Complexity Explorer * The Origin and Nature of Life on Earth: The Emergence of the Fourth Geosphere * Every Life Is on Fire: How Thermodynamics Explains the Origins of Living Things

    …In my opinion, a really under-rated book... should be up there with Godel Escher Bach etc. If anyone is interested in studying the Second Law... this is a much better read than say Jeremy England's "Every Life is on Fire" (which I think disappoints a bit in coming to the punchline. The essence from "Into the Cool" from the amazon summary: "This second law refers to energy's inevitable tendency to change from being concentrated…
