About this listen
James Gleick explains the theories behind the fascinating new science called chaos. Alongside relativity and quantum mechanics, it is being hailed as the 20th century's third revolution.
©1998 James Gleick (P)2011 Random HouseWhat the critics say
“Fascinating . . . almost every paragraph contains a jolt.” (The New York Times)
“Highly entertaining . . . a startling look at newly discovered universal laws.” (Chicago Tribune)
“An awe-inspiring book. Reading it gave me that sensation that someone had just found the light switch.” (Douglas Adams, author of The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy)

The Heart is a Chaotic Model
The Relationship between Chaos & cardiac arrhythmia is a refreshing, exhilarating view point that sheds a new light on nature

Amazing!
This book has opened my mind to many revolutions. Thought reading this book I have been able to put together a potential theory to help people within the psychology field even though its primarily a physics book! very thought provoking!

Excellent
A solid introduction to chaos theory and its history. I certainly don't fully understand how chaos is applicable to certain things, but I think this book is the perfect foundation in beginning to understand the concept.

Hard to understand and listen to
This is a perfect book if you have a background in mathematics or engineering and even if you do I recommend reading the book rather than listening to it. The book is not about understanding chaos but about how it was discovered.. still interesting but I prefer to watch a video on YouTube to understand it
