  • Time And Beauty: Why Time Flies And Beauty Never Dies

    by Adrian Bejan ...
    Time and beauty are two of our most visceral perceptions. Yet, their nature is seldom questioned. In this ground-breaking new work, Adrian Bejan — a true 'original' among physicists — explains, in a scholarly yet colorful style, the scientific basis for the perception of time and beauty.Organized into three main ideas, the book begins first with the perception of time. The author expounds on why ... Read more

  • Diversity through Freedom

    by Adrian Bejan ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    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, ... Read more

  • Design in Nature

    How the Constructal Law Governs Evolution in Biology, Physics, Technology, and Social Organization

    by Adrian Bejan, J. Peder Zane ...
    In this groundbreaking book, Adrian Bejan takes the recurring patterns in nature—trees, tributaries, air passages, neural networks, and lightning bolts—and reveals how a single principle of physics, the Constructal Law, accounts for the evolution of these and all other designs in our world.Everything—from biological life to inanimate systems—generates shape and structure and evolves in a sequence ...

  • Freedom and Evolution

    Hierarchy in Nature, Society and Science

    by Adrian Bejan ...
    Series series Engineering (R0)
    The book begins with familiar designs found all around and inside us (such as the ‘trees’ of river basins, human lungs, blood and city traffic). It then shows how all flow systemsare driven by power from natural engines everywhere, and how they are endlessly shaped because of freedom. Finally, Professor Bejan explains how people, like everything else that moves on earth, are driven by power ... Read more

  • Constructal Law and the Unifying Principle of Design

    Edited by Sylvie Lorente, Adrian Bejan, Luiz A.O. Rocha ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    Design happens everywhere, whether in animate objects (e.g., dendritic lung structures, bacterial colonies, and corals), inanimate patterns (river basins, beach slope, and dendritic crystals), social dynamics (pedestrian traffic flows), or engineered systems (heat dissipation in electronic circuitry). This “design in nature” often takes on remarkably similar patterns, which can be explained under ... Read more
