图书描述

Few writers distinguish themselves by their ability to write about complicated, even obscure topics clearly and engagingly. In Chaos, James Gleick, a former science writer for the New York Times, shows that he resides in this exclusive category. Here he takes on the job of depicting the first years of the study of chaos--the seemingly random patterns that characterise many natural phenomena.

This is not a purely technical book. Instead, it focuses as much on the scientists studying chaos as on the chaos itself. In the pages of Gleick's book, the reader meets dozens of extraordinary and eccentric people. For instance, Mitchell Feigenbaum, who constructed and regulated his life by a 26-hour clock and watched his waking hours come in and out of phase with those of his coworkers at Los Alamos National Laboratory.

As for chaos itself, Gleick does an outstanding job of explaining the thought processes and investigative techniques that researchers bring to bear on chaos problems. Rather than attempt to explain Julia sets, Lorenz attractors and the Mandelbrot Set with gigantically complicated equations, Chaos relies on sketches, photographs and Gleick's wonderful descriptive prose. --Christine Buttery

著者简介

James Gleick (born August 1, 1954) is an American author, journalist, and biographer, whose books explore the cultural ramifications of science and technology. Three of these books have been Pulitzer Prize and National Book Award finalists, and they have been translated into more than twenty languages.

Born in New York City, USA, Gleick attended Harvard College, graduating in 1976 with a degree in English and linguistics. Having worked for the Harvard Crimson and freelanced in Boston, he moved to Minneapolis, where he helped found a short-lived weekly newspaper, Metropolis. After its demise, he returned to New York and joined as staff of the New York Times, where he worked for ten years as an editor and reporter.

He was the McGraw Distinguished Lecturer at Princeton University in 1989-90. Gleick collaborated with the photographer Eliot Porter on Nature's Chaos and with developers at Autodesk on Chaos: The Software. In 1993, he founded The Pipeline, an early Internet service. Gleick is active on the boards of the Authors Guild and the Key West Literary Seminar.

His first book, Chaos: Making a New Science, an international best-seller, chronicled the development of chaos theory and made the Butterfly Effect a household phrase.

Among the scientists Gleick profiled were Mitchell Feigenbaum, Stephen Jay Gould, Douglas Hofstadter, Richard Feynman and Benoit Mandelbrot. His early reporting on Microsoft anticipated the antitrust investigations by the U. S. Department of Justice and the European Commission. Gleick's essays charting the growth of the Internet included the "Fast Forward" column on technology in the New York Times Magazine from 1995 to 1999 and formed the basis of his book What Just Happened. His work has also appeared in The New Yorker, the Atlantic, Slate, and the Washington Post.

科普故事。数理相关的全部跳过……完全不懂……takeaway很难总结。属于输入信息很多,输出观点较少的类型。或者scaleup来看 所有烦恼问题都不算个事儿 反正既不可控 也不可测……

Never known there is a science in chaos. It makes the god more evident in such a twistful manner.

读后感

因为教Human Behavioral Biology的教授的一句,此书能让人达到内心的平静,今天我看完了,却发现并没有强烈的内心平静的感受,不就是将了混沌在各个领域的发展史么,难道白看了。 如果从大自然的的千变万化及非线性和混沌研究者所遇到的种种阻力着眼,不就是暗示了万事皆有可能...

一年前看的这本书,前些天想写书评时才发现自己的学识远远不够格,根本写不出东西来。但是这本书写得的确很好,作者采访了几百位科学家,掌握了大量有关文献和资料,可以说写出来的都是浓缩的精华。 混沌是什么?以我这门外汉的理解,就是貌似线性的系统(即被经典的物理...

绝妙好书- - 读了一本绝妙的好书。 《混沌: 开创新科学》 这是一本我关注了好多年, 但一直没有时间和机会去读的好书。 其实在两年之前, 我已经复印了本书的英文般, 但是一个陌生的领域, 陌生的专业词汇, 英文版, 我怎么能有那么...
