About this title: Drawing on the evidence and insights of biology, physics, astronomy, and cosmology, this is an original and challenging vision of order and change in the universe. Rejecting the popular view that the universe will eventually collapse upon itself, Louise Young argues that the tendency towards increasing entropy is merely one aspect of a single process that is all the time creating more complex, highly organized, and more efficient forms of matter, from the microscopic to the stellar.
