Soft cover. Condizione: Good. Physicist Heinz R. Pagels explores how computers were transforming scientific inquiry by making it possible to model and investigate systems too complex for unaided human calculation. His discussion ranges across chaos theory, neural networks, molecular biology, evolution, the human brain, economics, and other fields newly connected by what came to be called the sciences of complexity. Written for a general audience, the book combines popular science with reflections on knowledge, consciousness, rationality, and the philosophy of science. Pagels argues that computer simulation offers a new way of understanding reality, comparable in intellectual importance to the telescope and microscope. Contemporary descriptions emphasize his ability to synthesize difficult scientific ideas into accessible, readable prose. Condition: Trade paperback in Good condition.

paperback. Condizione: 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.…
