| Summary |
Intended for a wide range of readers, this book shows the objective beauty of science. It highlights the features of the micro-, macro-, and microcosm, and discusses the role and importance of the fundamental constants of the observed universe. It examines the behavior of the human organism as an open non-equilibrium system, as well as ways to transition from a state of ""illness"" to a state of ""health"" |
