"While the first volume in this trilogy focused on the assumption that information has as much physical reality as energy, and the second volume explored the natural history of intelligence, so this final volume brings these strands together before exploring the very nature of information and meaning. Tom Stonier writes from the perspective of a theoretical biologist looking at the evolution of information systems as a basis for studying the phenomena of information, intelligence and meaning. Through his exploration of the 'meaning of meaning', and by looking at how neurons create a brain which understands information inputs and then operated on the information received, he is able to propose a theory of how the brain works and to explore how this theory may be used in the development of information science."
(From the back cover.) This book is a contribution to the literature on its important topic.
