What the Big Idea? Chaos & Uncertainty


Book Description
Early scientific theories made things seem completely predictable. But the real world is unpredictable, and this book explains why. The reader can find out what chaos has to do with earthquakes and avalanches, the stockmarket, Saturn's rings, evolution and special offers at the local supermarket.
