Sync: The Emerging Science of Spontaneous Order by Steven Strogatz

5.0

This is a marvelous book! Strogatz has the gift to explain complex mathematical theories with simple and clear analogies. He gives us examples from biology, sociology, modern physics, cosmology, traffic science etc to prove chaos theory is not some abstract idea only useful to keep some pale eccentrics busy but is an intrinsic part what makes our universe tic!
His descriptions of the colorful people who laid the foundations of sync were very fun to read.
I will most certainly read his other work based on his lectures!
