Models for the mechanical behavior of porous media introduced more than 50 years ago are still relied upon today, but more recent work shows that, in some cases, they may violate the laws of thermodynamics. In The Thermophysics of Porous Media, the author shows that physical consistency requires a unique description of dynamic processes that...

An organism’s body size tells us a lot about how it makes a living, suggesting that
body size is a key parameter in evolution. We outline three large-scale trends in
body size evolution. Bergmann’s Rule is the tendency for warm-blooded species
at high latitudes to be larger than their close relatives nearer the equator....
