Deep Simplicity

Chaos, Complexity and the Emergence of Life

Beschreibung

The world around us can be a complex, confusing place. Earthquakes happen without warning, stock markets fluctuate, weather forecasters seldom seem to get it right - even other people continue to baffle us. How do we make sense of it all? This title illuminates the harmony underlying our existence.
