Book i am reading...Halfway Point

Chaos: Making a New Science by James Gleick, is the book i am reading currently and Even though i am just half way through, i have become a great fan of this book. I have presented my copy to Dad and bought another to continue reading the other half of book.

Few thoughts on the half way mark....

Before i start off, i would like to pass my congratulations to the author for his excellent work. The book will never let you down and i assure you would never be willing to put the book down for a sec once you start reading it. (ofcourse you should be great fan of maths and physics).

The prologue is an excellent way of introducing the subject and the book to readers. And if you read the below lines, wowwwww would be the only answer and your nerves start resonating for reading this book ...

Where Chaos BEGINS, classical science stops. For as long as the world has had physicists inquiring into the laws of nature, it has suffered a special ignorance about disorder in the atmosphere, in the turbulent sea, in the fluctuations of wildlife populations, in the oscillations of the heart and the brain. The irregular side of nature, the discontinous and erratic side - these have been puzzles to science, or worse, monstrosities.

to be continued....
