Chaos: Making a New Science
of James Gleick (Goodreads Author)
Description
A work of popular science in the tradition of Stephen Hawking and Carl Sagan, this 20th-anniversary edition of James Gleickâs groundbreaking bestseller Chaos introduces a whole new readership to chaos theory, one of the most significant waves of scientific knowledge in our time. From Edward Lorenzâs discovery of the Butterfly Effect, to Mitchell Feigenbaumâs calculation of a universal constant, to Benoit Mandelbrotâs concept of fractals, which created a new geometry of nature, Gleickâs engaging narrative focuses on the key figures whose genius converged to chart an innovative direction for science. In Chaos, Gleick makes the story of chaos theory not only fascinating but also accessible to beginners, and opens our eyes to a surprising new view of the universe.
