Diversity through Freedom

This book questions the physics of diversity—why diversity happens by itself, why it is a phenomenon that has a mind of its own, and why it opposes any effort of being shoehorned into a few distinct (antagonistic) classes.  Physics is not opinion; physical facts can be put to the test. The book begins with fundamentals of design evolution in nature—movement, time direction, freedom to change, size, shape, structure. It continues with pictorial examples of distinct evolutionary domains of the most common type: people, animals, athletes, rhythms, technologies, and universities. The features of diversity shared so clearly by so many dissimilar domains empower the biosphere with the design that sustains it and assures its future. An integral part of nature’s design is the merit system. This way the readers discover on their own that diversity emerges naturally, inevitably, steadfastly, and beneficially. The book is alive with illustrations, anecdotes, humor, and history.
