 In short, Ball is capable of making us gasp at worlds both tiny and huge. It's nice to know that life isn't all about entropy. As he says in Shapes: "Here, then, is a rejoinder to the accusation that a scientific attitude is prone to blunt our wonderment at the world." Pertenece a las seriesNature's Patterns (book 2)
From the swirl of a wisp of smoke to eddies in rivers, and the huge persistent storm system that is the Great Spot on Jupiter, we see similar forms and patterns wherever there is flow - whether the movement of wind, water, sand, or flocks of birds. It is the complex dynamics of flow thatstructures our atmosphere, land, and oceans.Part of a trilogy of books exploring the science of patterns in nature by acclaimed science writer Philip Ball, this volume explores the elusive rules that govern flow - the science of chaotic behaviour.
