Two's Company, Three is Complexity by Neil Johnson

Two's Company, Three is Complexity by Neil Johnson

What do traffic jams, stock market crashes, and wars have in common? They are all explained by complexity, an unsolved scientific puzzle which is considered by many to be the 'Science of Sciences'. In "Two's Company, Three is Complexity", Neil Johnson uses real-life examples as he leads us on a fascinating and entertaining romp through cutting-edge topics like chaos, game theory, economics, and even jazz and quantum physics. From pubs to plants, Johnson shows the surprising ways in which order eventually emerges from the interaction of all things, and ultimately proves that complexity lies at the heart of the Universe itself.

Michael Spagat - Professor of Economics, Royal Holloway College, University of London "This is a wonderful book, simultaneously deep and highly readableIt provides unexpected insights into a wild array of subjects ranging from jazz to traffic jams to war." Philip Ball -- best-selling author of Critical Mass: How One Thing Leads to Another "It's lucidly explained, engagingly written and constantly surprising: complexity made simple!"

Neil Johnson is Professor of Physics at Oxford University, where he is also co-director of CABDYN, an interdisciplinary research collaboration in Complexity and Complex Systems. He co-authored /Financial Market Complexity/ (OUP, 2003).
