Hardcover. Condition: New. First Edition, First Printing. BRAND NEW & COLLECTIBLE. First Edition, First Printing. LAID-IN: MIT Press Release. A multi-discipinary examination of how, and why, work is performed in research of living systems --- the relationships between work and the study of work across many different levels of organization, in disciplines of biology, neuroscience, psychology, electrical and computer engineering, and design. Content address the biological work of producing energy in the cell; establish inherent tradeoffs between energy and information in neural systems; relate principles of integrated circuit manufacture to work in biological systems; explore the work of photosynthesis; investigate how work shapes organisms' evolutionary niches; consider the human work of design; describe the effects of job satisfaction and dissatisfaction on work-life balance; and address the effects of environmental challenges (stress) on how humans and animals do work. Essays from Alan Blackwell, Gillian Brown, Christina De La Rocha, Kevin Laland, Simon Laughlin, Robert Levin, Michael Lightner, Steven Maier, Joseph Rosse, and Stacy Saturay.
