Description for Simply Complexity
Paperback. Complexity is considered to be an important scientific development since general relativity. Using it, scientists can find order emerging from random interactions of all kinds, from something as simple as flipping coins through to challenging problems such as predicting shopping habits, and the growth of cancer tumours. Num Pages: 256 pages, diagrams, figures. BIC Classification: PDZM. Category: (G) General (US: Trade). Dimension: 199 x 129 x 20. Weight in Grams: 294.

They are all explained using complexity, an unsolved puzzle that many researchers believe is the key to predicting – and ultimately solving—everything from terrorist attacks and pandemic viruses right down to rush hour traffic congestion.
Complexity is considered by many to be the single most important scientific development since general relativity and it promises to make sense of no less than the very heart of the Universe. Using it, scientists can find order emerging from seemingly random interactions of all kinds, from something ... Read more

Reviews for Simply Complexity
"Johnson's book fills a long-overdue need for an engaging semipopular book about complexity science, one that is also strong on the underlying scientific and theoretical concepts." "Highly recommended."
