What do traffic jams, stock market crashes, and wars have in common? They are all explained by complexity, an unsolved scientific puzzle which is considered by many to be the 'Science of Sciences'. In "Two's Company, Three is Complexity", Neil Johnson uses real-life examples as he leads us on a fascinating and entertaining romp through cutting-edge topics like chaos, game theory, economics, and even jazz and quantum physics. From pubs to plants, Johnson shows the surprising ways in which order eventually emerges from the interaction of all things, and ultimately proves that complexity lies at the heart of the Universe itself.

'Neil Johnson has provided a readable account of the science of complexity' --Oxford Times.
'Johnson's book fills a long-overdue need for an engaging semipopular book about complexity science, one that is also strong on the underlying scientific and theoretical concepts. Highly recommended.' --Choice.
'This is a wonderful book, simultaneously deep and highly readable. It provides unexpected insights into a wild array of subjects ranging from jazz to traffic jams to war.' --Michael Spagat, Professor of Economics, Royal Holloway College, University of London.
