About the book
Astrophysicist John Gribbin explains chaos and complexity theory, the study of complex systems, whose influence has reached fields from biology and physics to computing and meteorology. He sets out the principles behind the two theories and shows how, over two decades, they have been used to explain phenomena ranging from weather to mass extinctions. Placing the theories in history, Gribbin follows them from Newton and Darwin to Lorenz, Prigogine and Lovelock, presenting chaos and complexity as extensions of simple scientific laws rather than a break with them. He also traces their role in the evolution of both life and galaxies.
Charlie Munger said it is hard to understand all of it, adding that a reader who gets stuck can always pass it to a more intelligent friend.

… it's pretty hard to understand everything, but if you can't understand it, you can always give it to a more intelligent friend.
