In a rented convent in Santa Fe, a revolution has been brewing. The activists are not anarchists, but rather Nobel Laureates in physics and economics such as Murray Gell-Mann and Kenneth Arrow, and pony-tailed graduate students, mathematicians, and computer scientists down from Los Alamos. They've formed an iconoclastic think tank called the Santa Fe Institute, and their radical idea is to create a new science called complexity. These mavericks from academe share a deep impatience with the kind of linear, reductionist thinking that has dominated science since the time of Newton. Instead, they are gathering novel ideas about interconnectedness, coevolution, chaos, structure, and order - and they're forging them into an entirely new, unified way of thinking about nature, human social behavior, life, and the universe itself. They want to know how a primordial soup of simple molecules managed to turn itself into the first living cell - and what the origin of life some four billion years ago can tell us about the process of technological innovation today. They want to know why ancient ecosystems often remained stable for millions of years, only to vanish in a geological instant - and what such events have to do with the sudden collapse of Soviet communism in the late 1980s. They want to know why the economy can behave in unpredictable ways that economists can't explain - and how the random process of Darwinian natural selection managed to produce such wonderfully intricate structures as the eye and the kidney. Above all, they want to know how the universe manages to bring forth complex structures such as galaxies, stars, planets, bacteria, plants, animals, and brains. There are commonthreads in all of these queries, and these Santa Fe scientists seek to understand them. Complexity is their story: the messy, funny, human story of how science really happens. Here is the tale of Brian Arthur, the Belfast-born economist who stubbornly pushed his theories of economic ch
比另一本Complexity更具故事性和领域上的丰富性
评分精彩至极。
评分很久以前就读过。中文版本已经成为国内复杂性研究领域的启蒙书。
评分基本上是复杂性科学的研究机构ST-F的历史 原来很多概念都是相通的,混沌的边缘,生命的涌现与进化,股市的涨落,物质的二级相变。。。有趣啊有趣
评分4.5,微博上看到颜宁推荐的!开拓眼界~
最近诸事不顺,唯一值得庆幸的是遇到了几本超级好书,上次是《自私的基因》,这次是《复杂》,也许是长期的郁闷积累到了一定程度,到了书中所说的“涌现”的阶段了吧,差不多也该转运了。 言归正传,进化论是有缺陷的,在解释突变产生新物种的时候,进化论不是循环论证就是语...
评分如果说作家是人类的良心,那么科学家毫无疑义的担当起了人类的智力。他们用他们非凡美妙的想象力和无比坚韧的毅力带领着我们,领略世界,了解自己。 首先,我相信这本书对大多数人来说会是一个很丰富的阅读过程,其间涉及的从生物化学宇宙起源的物理探索到电子人工智能跨领域...
评分大学的时候,放弃其他的专业,选择化学,其原因是对 化学中那奇妙的反应着迷,想去了解。 普利高津的耗散理论,熵。 这个世界到底是会变成什么样呢? 岁月流逝,当时的激情已然不再,化学也离我远去。 看了复杂这本书,又让我感觉回到当时对这个世界的事务那种追求理解的年代...
评分花了两三个小时浏览完了这本书,简单评价一下: 这是一本传记性质的书,作为传记,写得非常精彩,译者译笔也非常传神。但如果任何人想要从中获得有价值的科学理论,那还是找两本专业的书来看看吧。整个这本书对于理论的描述是非常大而化之的(如果还不能算不靠谱的话),泛泛...
