Synopsis
'If evidence were needed that [complexity] really is more than chaos in a teacup, then Peter Coveney and Roger Highfield provide it in abundance. They stake out its claims in a remarkable profusion of areas, covering artificial life, neural networks, robotics, evolutionary game theory, computer genetics and even the chemistry of concrete. This is by far and away the most comprehensive, accurate and lively introduction to the subject, and a fertile source for those who want to dig deeper.' New Statesman

From the Back Cover
In this groundbreaking new book, Peter Coveney and Roger Highfield, the scientist coauthors of the highly praised The Arrow of Time, explore how complexity in mathematics, physics, biology, chemistry, and even the social sciences is transforming not only the way we think about the universe, but also the very assumptions that underlie conventional science.
Synopsis
This comprehensive work investigates: the role of computers in the understanding of complexity; spontaneous emergence of order in the universe; how nature can solve problems that traditionally defeat scientists; and the likelihood that intelligence will evolve within computers.
