Helpful Score: 3

Chaos records the birth of a new science. This new science offers a way of seeing order and pattern where formerly only the random, the erratic, the unpredictable---in short, the chaotic--had been observed. In the words of Douglas Hofstadter, " It turns out that an eerie type of chaos can lurk behind a facade of order--and yet, deep inside the chaos lurks an even eerier type of order."

James Gleick, is a journalist who chronicles the history of a scientific discovery. Just as the Quantum Theory impacts our current lives, so does the Chaos Theory. An informed person will want to read this book.
