paperback. Condition: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.…

Hardcover. Condition: Fair. Dust Jacket Condition: Fair. In our century, the subject of time has become an area of serious inquiry for science. Theories that contain time as a simple quantity form the basis of our understanding of many scientific disciplines, yet the debate rages on: why does there seem to be a direction to time, an arrow of time pointing from past to future? In The Arrow of Time, a major bestseller in England, Dr. Peter Coveney, a research scientist, and award-winning journalist Dr. Roger Highfield, demonstrate that the commonsense view of time agrees with the most advanced scientific theory. Time does in fact move like an arrow, shooting forward into what is genuinely unknown, leaving the past immutably behind. The authors make their case by exploring three centuries of science, offering bold reinterpretations of Newton's mechanics, Einstein's special and general theories of relativity, quantum mechanics, and advancing the insights of James Gleick's Chaos.

Hardcover. Condition: Very good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very good. 24 cm. 378, [6] pages. Foreword by Ilya Prigogine. Illustrations (some in color). Notes. Bibliography. Glossary of Terms. Index. Peter Coveney is a Professor of Physical Chemistry, Honorary Professor of Computer Science, and the Director of the Centre for Computational Science (CCS) at University College London (UCL). He is also a Professor of Applied High Performance Computing at University of Amsterdam (UvA), Professor Adjunct in the Medical School at Yale University and Member of Academia Europaea. Coveney has a varied and active research portfolio, covering a wide range of disciplines and areas including: computational medicine and life sciences, condensed matter physics, computational chemistry and physics, and high performance computing, and has more than 400 publications in international scientific journals. He has also led several large scale international projects, most notably, the EPSRC RealityGrid e-Science Pilot Project and its extension project, and the EU FP7 Virtual Physiological Human (VPH) Network of Excellent. He is currently the Principle Investigator on several grants from the European Commission and other agencies, including the EU Horizon 2020 projects Verified Exascale Computing for Multiscale Applications, "VECMA" and Centre of Excellence in Computational Biomedicine, "CompBioMed2". The original CompBioMed initiative was launched after Coveney and his team challenged the EU following a rejected grant proposal. This led to him launching a critique of Big Data in Biology with Ed Dougherty of Texas A&M and Roger Highfield. Derived from a Kirkus review: It is the ambition of all research, the authors quote 19th- century scientist Willard Gibbs, ``to find the point of view from which the subject appears in its greatest simplicity.'' However, it is the ambition of these same authors) to demonstrate that simplicity doesn't get you very far in the real (macroscopic) world of time and space. Thus, the die is cast. The authors' aim in this not-so-easy treatise is to find objective bases for the irreversibility of time. Rather than discourse on varying interpretations of time in the manner of Stephen J. Gould in Time's Arrow, or assume the positivist stance of Stephen W. Hawking in A Short History of Time, the authors make a case for uncertainty and ``dynamical'' chaos. Their approach is historical, pointing out that Newton's laws of motion, Einstein's relativity theory, and quantum mechanics all treat time as symmetrical-time can move forward and backward in the equations. But we know otherwise and so did 19th-century formulators of the second law of thermodynamics-entropy increases and isolated systems move inexorably toward thermal equilibrium. It is only with Prigogine and colleagues, recent computer modeling, and theories of chaos and catastrophe that the authors arrive at a state of the science in which they believe time's arrow is objectively demonstrated. All this may not mean a lot to people who take life, death, and decay as a given. However, for the intellectually curious there is much food for thought. The authors provide some fascinating examples of biorhythms and patterning in chemical and biological clocks, and in self-organizing systems from slime molds to the mammalian embryo.

Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Leichte Gebrauchsspuren; Leichte Verschmutzung / Farbtonveranderung. Podtitul: Hranice komplexity - Hledani radu v chaotickem svete Prukopnicka prace ukazujici nove obzory vedy. Komplexita, hlavni tema knihy, je moderni interdisciplinarni zalezitosti, zabyvajici se souborem temat z takovych vednich oboru, jako je umela inteligence, statisticka fyzika, neurobiologie, ci dokonce sociologie. Komplexita je vsude tam, kde hranici chaos s radem. Z vedeckeho hlediska je slozitejsi a zajimavejsi nez chaos, jemuz bylo venovano mnoho vedeckeho usili a o nemz uz byla napsana rada knih. Prave tam, kde se chaos setkava s radem, se totiz odehravaji tak uzasne veci, jako je zivot ci mysleni. Autori navazuji na prace takovych velikanu vedy, jako byl Richard Feynman, Kurt Godel, John von Neumann, Ilya Prigogine a Alan Turing, kteri otevreli cestu od redukcionismu ke komplexite.
