Self-organized criticality, the spontaneous development of systems to a critical state, is the first general theory of complex systems with a firm mathematical basis. This theory describes how many seemingly desperate aspects of the world, from stock market crashes to mass extinctions, avalanches to solar flares, all share a set of simple, easily described properties. "...a'must read'...Bak writes with such ease and lucidity, and his ideas are so intriguing...essential reading for those interested in complex systems...it will reward a sufficiently skeptical reader." -NATURE "...presents the theory (self-organized criticality) in a form easily absorbed by the non-mathematically inclined reader." -BOSTON BOOK REVIEW "I picture Bak as a kind of scientific musketeer; flamboyant, touchy, full of swagger and ready to join every fray... His book is written with panache. The style is brisk, the content stimulating. I recommend it as a bracing experience." -NEW SCIENTIST Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |

However, the book's title overclaims, SOC cannot fully explain how nature works, and in some ways, I get the sense we don't completely understand how SOC works, which are similar classes of phenomena and which are different. Also, the book is not entirely clear, I don't feel like I learned so much about SOC compared to what I knew from Wikipedia. But there were experiments and domains I was not aware of that made the book interesting and worthwhile. (
