How Nature Works: The Science of Self-Organized Criticality Hardcover - 1996
by Per Bak
A professor of physics offers a stunning new theory of complex systems, from earthquakes to stock markets. This book, written by the discoverer of self-organized criticality, describes for general readers a concept that has become increasingly important in science. Many seemingly disparate aspects of the world, from the formation of the landscape to the process of evolution, all share a set of simple, easily described properties--which may be explained as manifestations of a single principle.
