Book summary

Gleick, a former science writer for the New York Times, examines chaos theory, which attempts to find patterns amid natural randomness. In CHAOS, the author tracks various experiments in a variety of scientific fields as the chance that once governed life gives way to complex schedules, tracking the origins of a typhoon back to a hummingbird in Central Park.
