  | | Life Finds a Way What Evolution Teaches Us About Creativity by Andreas Wagner Hardcover, 320 Pages, Published 2019 by Basic Books ISBN-13: 978-1-5416-4533-2, ISBN: 1-5416-4533-2 "How the principles of biological innovation can help us overcome creative challenges in art, business, and scienceIn Life Finds a Way, biologist Andreas Wagner reveals the deep symmetry between innovation in biological evolution and human cultural creativity. Rarely is either a linear climb to perfection--instead, "progress" is typically marked by a sequence of peaks, plateaus, and pitfalls. For instance, in Picasso's forty-some iterati ..." |
 | | Paradoxical Life Meaning, Matter, and the Power of Human Choice by Andreas Wagner Paperback, 272 Pages, Published 2011 by Yale University Press ISBN-13: 978-0-300-17152-5, ISBN: 0-300-17152-8 "For readers of Hofstadter’s Gödel, Escher, Bach, a fascinating look at the hidden meaning in matter What can a fingernail tell us about the mysteries of creation? In one sense, a nail is merely a hunk of mute matter, yet in another, it’s an information superhighway quite literally at our fingertips. Every moment, streams of molecular signals direct our cells to move, flatten, swell, shrink, divide, or die. Andreas Wagner’s ambitious new ..." |

But the biggest mystery about evolution eluded him: how those adaptations arise in the first place. Can random mutations over a mere 3.8 billion years solely be responsible for wings, eyeballs, knees, photosynthesis, and the rest of nature's creative marvels? And by calling these mutations 'random', are we not just ..." |
