Reductionism by Alastair I M Rae
From the atom to our societies, an unparalleled introduction to how the science of the small explains the greatest phenomena in our lives“This book provides a persuasive case that phenomena as complex as the mind or society can be ultimately explained as consequences of the most fundamental scientific lawsAn enthralling account for anyone with an interest in science.”
-- Peter Main, Director of Education and Science, Institute of Physics, UK“Don't think that reductionism is just ‘this is how scientists can explain everything’. As you read this book you will discover that its counterpart is ‘emergence’. I hope that it will stimulate you to wonder at the structure of our universe.”
-- Ted Forgan, Professor of Physics and Astronomy, University of Birmingham, UKAlastair I.M. Rae is author of the bestselling Quantum Physics: A Beginner’s Guide and the popular textbook Quantum Mechanics (now in its fourth edition). For many years, he was Reader in Quantum Physics at the University of Birmingham.
