In a rented convent in Santa Fe, a revolution has been brewing. The activists are not anarchists, but rather Nobel Laureates in physics and economics such as Murray Gell-Mann and Kenneth Arrow, and pony-tailed graduate students, mathematicians, and computer scientists down from Los Alamos. They've formed an iconoclastic think tank called the Santa Fe Institute, and their radical idea is to create a new science called complexity. These mavericks from academe share a deep impatience with the kind of linear, reductionist thinking that has dominated science since the time of Newton. Instead, they are gathering novel ideas about interconnectedness, coevolution, chaos, structure, and order - and they're forging them into an entirely new, unified way of thinking about nature, human social behavior, life, and the universe itself. They want to know how a primordial soup of simple molecules managed to turn itself into the first living cell - and what the origin of life some four billion years ago can tell us about the process of technological innovation today. They want to know why ancient ecosystems often remained stable for millions of years, only to vanish in a geological instant - and what such events have to do with the sudden collapse of Soviet communism in the late 1980s. They want to know why the economy can behave in unpredictable ways that economists can't explain - and how the random process of Darwinian natural selection managed to produce such wonderfully intricate structures as the eye and the kidney. Above all, they want to know how the universe manages to bring forth complex structures such as galaxies, stars, planets, bacteria, plants, animals, and brains. There are commonthreads in all of these queries, and these Santa Fe scientists seek to understand them. Complexity is their story: the messy, funny, human story of how science really happens. Here is the tale of Brian Arthur, the Belfast-born economist who stubbornly pushed his theories of economic ch
A landmark in my intellectual development
评分let me think of something about city, what we talk about the city in 1960 is more like something this book related to
评分1997年,国内继中译本《混沌学传奇》(“Chaos”)之后,又一本优秀的复杂性科学的翻译著作。该本书详细描述了美国 1980 前后,一批跨学科的科学家们对复杂、混沌的边缘、正反馈、人工生命等领域的探索,并以圣塔菲研究院的发起、成立及早期的研究活动为背景,展示了一幅波澜起伏的科学思潮的兴起!是国内大学本科、研究生获得科学兴趣,提高科学素养的优秀著作。
评分基本上是复杂性科学的研究机构ST-F的历史 原来很多概念都是相通的,混沌的边缘,生命的涌现与进化,股市的涨落,物质的二级相变。。。有趣啊有趣
评分是一本叙述性的书,不过这种题材不是我的胃口。我喜欢直接去讲宇宙的道理。不过,这本书的有些内容,确实有enlight的作用,比如increaing return, network等。我非常建议,看看。
我相信即便没有什么理科背景的读者也会被此书吸引,作者诙谐幽默的语言跟老道的叙事手法让此书堪比一流的小说。 里面的人物都被刻画得栩栩如生,他们性格各异,或张扬或沉稳,但是都有一个共同点,那便是对世界的探索欲,对未知规律永恒的好奇心。 当然,最激动人心的还是能...
评分第一次看这本书是在大学图书馆阅览室,当时偶然看到这本书便撒不了手,差点让我挂了一门专业课. 这本书不是讲具体的哪门科学或者技术,而是讲的一种考虑问题的方式,也就是马哲里边说的方法论吧. 全书以小说的形式展开去,将要阐述的观点散布在故事情节中,避免了令人望而却步的生硬...
评分概述 这是一本关于复杂性科学的书——这门学科还如此之新,其范围又如此之广,以至于还无人完全知晓如何确切地定义它,甚至还不知道它的边界何在。然而,这正是它的全部意义之所在。如果说,复杂性科学的研究领域目前尚显得模糊不清,那便是因为这项研究正在试图解答的是...
