LIKE NEW CONDITION! Book two: THE OF CREATING LIFE. 635 pages Stiff card covers with dust jacket. This is Book 2 of the four-volume work Christopher Alexander's magnum opus of architectural philosophy, and a project on which he has been working for over twenty years. Like Steven Wolfram's "A New Kind of Science" -- to which it has been compared by a number of authors -- it is long (almost 2,000 pages), richly illustrated, and suggestive of nothing less than a new scientific world view. The essence of that view is this: the universe is not made of "things," but of patterns, of complex, interactive geometries. Furthermore, this way of understanding the world can unlock marvelous secrets of nature, and perhaps even make possible a renaissance of human-scale design and technology. ALL FOUR VOLUMES ARE AVAILABLE.
