EXCERPT: "One of the most highly developed skills in contemporary Western civilization is dissection: the split-up of problems into their smallest possible components. We are good at it. So good, we often forget to put the pieces back together again. "Ilya Prigogine, who won the Nobel Prize in 1977, is not satisfied, however, with merely taking things apart. He has spent the better part of a lifetime trying to 'put the pieces together again' - the pieces in this case being biology and physics, necessity and chance, science and humanity. "In Order Out of Chaos Ilya Prigogine and his colleague Isabelle Stengers have given us a landmark - a work that is contentious and mind-energizing, a book filled with flashing insights that subvert many of our most basic assumptions and suggest fresh ways to think about them. "Order Out of Chaos is a brilliant, demanding, dazzling book - challenging for all and richly rewarding for the attentive reader. It is a book to study, to savor, to reread - and to question yet again. It projects science into today's revolutionary world of instability, disequilibrium, and turbulence. In so doing, it serves the highest creative function - it helps us create fresh order." - From the Foreword by Alvin Toffler.. First Edition 1st Printing. Trade Paperback. Good. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
