"Ideas that require people to reorganize their picture of the world provoke hostility": First Edition of Chaos: Making of A New Science; Signed by James Gleick
First edition. Octavo, original half cloth. Signed by the author on the title page. Fine in a fine dust jacket.
Few writers distinguish themselves by their ability to write about complicated, even obscure topics clearly and engagingly. James Gleick, a former science writer for the New York Times, resides in this exclusive category. In Chaos, he takes on the job of depicting the first years of the study of chaos--the seemingly random patterns that characterize many natural phenomena. "An awe-inspiring book. Reading it gave me that sensation othat someone had just found the light switch" (Douglas Adams).
