JOHN GRIBBIN trained as an astrophysicist at Cambridge University and is currently Visiting Fellow in Astronomy at the University of Sussex. His many books include In Search of Schrödinger’s Cat, Stardust, Schrödinger’s Kittens and The Search for Reality Fitzroy (with his wife, Mary Gribbin), Science: A History, and The Scientists.
“Gribbin takes us through the basics [of chaos theory] with his
customary talent for accessibility and clarity. [His] arguments are
driven not by impersonal equations but by a sense of wonder at the
presence in the universe and in nature of simple, self-organizing
harmonies underpinning all structures, whether they are stars or
flowers.”
–Sunday Times (London)
“Gribbins breathes life into the core ideas of complexity science,
and argues convincingly that the basic laws, even in biology, will
ultimately turn out to be simple.”
–Nature magazine
