Ubiquity
Crown Publishing Group 2002; US$ 16.00Why do catastrophes happen? What sets off earthquakes, for example? What about mass extinctions of species? The outbreak of major wars? Massive traffic jams that seem to appear out of nowhere? Why does the stock market periodically suffer dramatic crashes? Why do some forest fires become superheated infernos that rage totally out of control? Experts... more...
The Dynamical Systems Approach To Cognition
World Scientific Publishing Company 2003; US$ 98.80The shared platform of the articles collected in this volume is used to advocate a dynamical systems approach to cognition. It is argued that recent developments in cognitive science towards an account of embodiment, together with the general approach of complexity theory and dynamics, have a major impact on behavioral and cognitive science. more...
Instabilities, Chaos And Turbulence
World Scientific Publishing Company 2004; US$ 109.20This book is an introduction to the application of nonlinear dynamics to problems of stability, chaos and turbulence arising in continuous media and their connection to dynamical systems. With an emphasis on the understanding of basic concepts, it should be of interest to nearly any science-oriented undergraduate and potentially to anyone who wants... more...
Dynamics And Bifurcation Of Patterns In Dissipative Systems
World Scientific Publishing Company 2004; US$ 88.40Understanding the spontaneous formation and dynamics of spatiotemporal patterns in dissipative nonequilibrium systems is one of the major challenges in nonlinear science. This collection of expository papers and advanced research articles, written by leading experts, provides an overview of the state of the art. The topics include new approaches to... more...
Worldviews, Science And Us
World Scientific Publishing Company 2007; US$ 114.40Scientific, technological, and cultural changes have always had an impact upon philosophy. They can force a change in the way we perceive the world, reveal new kinds of phenomena to be understood, and provide new ways of understanding phenomena. Complexity science, immersed in a culture of information, is having a diverse but particularly significant... more...
Control of Chaos in Nonlinear Circuits and Systems
World Scientific Publishing Company 2008; US$ 104.00In this book, leading researchers present their current work in the challenging area of chaos control in nonlinear circuits and systems, with emphasis on practical methodologies, system design techniques and applications. A combination of overview, tutorial and technical articles, the book describes state-of-the-art research on significant problems... more...
The Topology of Chaos
Wiley 2008; US$ 175.00A new approach to understanding nonlinear dynamics and strange attractors The behavior of a physical system may appear irregular or chaotic even when it is completely deterministic and predictable for short periods of time into the future. How does one model the dynamics of a system operating in a chaotic regime? Older tools such as estimates of the... more...
The Perfect Swarm
Basic Books 2009; US$ 14.99The IgNobel Prize-winner and author of Rock, Paper, Scissors applies science-based solutions to seemingly complex problems in life. more...
Quantum Chaos
Cambridge University Press 1995; US$ 110.00This book provides a comprehensive overview of our understanding of chaotic behaviour in quantum systems. more...
In the Wake of Chaos
University of Chicago Press 1994; US$ 22.50Chaos theory has captured scientific and popular attention. What began as the discovery of randomness in simple physical systems has become a widespread fascination with "chaotic" models of everything from business cycles to brainwaves to heart attacks. But what exactly does this explosion of new research into chaotic phenomena mean for our understanding... more...
