Work Meets Life

Exploring the Integrative Study of Work in Living Systems
Edited by Robert Levin, Simon Laughlin, Christina De La Rocha and Alan Blackwell

The work performed by living systems ranges from photosynthesis to prodigious feats of computation and organization. This multidisciplinary volume explores work across many different levels of organization. By addressing how work gets done, and why, from the perspectives of research in a range of disciplines, including cellular and evolutionary biology, neuroscience, psychology, electrical and computer engineering, and design, the volume sets out to establish an integrative perspective on understanding work in living systems, including humans.
