Information and Meaning: An Evolutionary Perspective is the third in a
series on the concept of information. Tom Stonier, a theoretical biologist,
explores the nature of information, intelligence and meaning, and tries to open
the door a crack, hoping that enough light will shine through to tantalise
others and initiate some serious research in the field. Well written and
thought-provoking. Published by Springer-Verlag, £19, ISBN 354076139X.
