SCALE: The Universal Laws of Life and Death in Organisms, Cities and Companies Geoffrey West Orion: London 2017 Trade Paperback Very good condition

'By applying the rigour of physics to questions of biology, West found that despite the riotous diversity in the sizes of mammals, they are all, to a large degree, scaled versions of each other. This speaks to everything from how long we can expect to live to how many hours of sleep we need. He then made the even bolder move of exploring his work's applicability to cities and to the business world. These investigations have led to powerful insights into the sustainability of cities and why some companies thrive while others fail.'
