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

我相信即便没有什么理科背景的读者也会被此书吸引,作者诙谐幽默的语言跟老道的叙事手法让此书堪比一流的小说。 里面的人物都被刻画得栩栩如生,他们性格各异,或张扬或沉稳,但是都有一个共同点,那便是对世界的探索欲,对未知规律永恒的好奇心。 当然,最激动人心的还是能...

《复杂》这本书的出版可以说给中国的学术界打开了一扇窗子,让我们真正的了解了国外的复杂性科学。有人称《复杂》这本书是复杂性科学的“圣经”我看也一点不为过。《复杂》类似于纪实小说,读起来轻松愉快,然而这也许会让不熟悉的人摸不到头脑,因为单单从每一章的标题根...

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...

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...

比另一本Complexity更具故事性和领域上的丰富性

现在才发现,KK在《out of control》一书中的很多观点都可以在这本书里找到。不是说谁抄袭了谁,而是说很多人都曾经认真思考过这个问题,这些书籍就是那些思考的总结。

1997年,国内继中译本《混沌学传奇》(“Chaos”)之后,又一本优秀的复杂性科学的翻译著作。该本书详细描述了美国 1980 前后,一批跨学科的科学家们对复杂、混沌的边缘、正反馈、人工生命等领域的探索,并以圣塔菲研究院的发起、成立及早期的研究活动为背景,展示了一幅波澜起伏的科学思潮的兴起!是国内大学本科、研究生获得科学兴趣,提高科学素养的优秀著作。
