Chaos

Chaos by James Gleick reveals the science behind chaos theory.

From Edward Lorenz’s discovery of the Butterfly Effect to Mitchell Feigenbaum’s calculation of a universal constant to Benoit Mandelbrot’s concept of fractals, which created a new geometry of nature, Gleick’s 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.
