1993, Simon and Schuster

Jestli se vám líbil Gleickův Chaos, tak vám tuhle knížku naléhavě doporučuji. Jedna z těch knih, které vyvolávají požitek z přemýšlení.

“Why did the stock market crash more than 500 points on a single Monday in 1987? Why do ancient species often remain stable in the fossil record for millions of years and then suddenly disappear? In a world where nice guys often finish last, why do humans value trust and cooperation? At first glance these questions don’t appear to have anything in common, but in fact every one of these statements refers to a complex system. The science of complexity studies how single elements, such as a species or a stock, spontaneously organize into complicated structures like ecosystems and economies.”
