Fifty-plus essays by Harold J. Morowitz, a biophysicist. He reflects on questions that arise in the course of his daily life, his scientific research, and his miscellaneous reading.
When the whole is greater than the sum of the parts--indeed, so great that the sum far transcends the parts and represents something utterly new and different--we call that phenomenon emergence.
