Most of us suffer some degree of "hurry sickness." a malady that has launched us into the "epoch of the nanosecond," a need-everything-yesterday sphere dominated by cell phones, computers, faxes, and remote controls. Yet for all the hours, minutes, and even seconds being saved, we're still filling our days to the point that we have no time for such basic human activities as eating, sex, and relating to our families....

Informace
ISBN: 9788073634155 / Czeski / 2013 / 400 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Informace je v určitém smyslu knihou o všem, co je páteří naší civilizace: o telekomunikaci, ochranných známkách, počítačích, genetice, spamu a memech, kompresi dat, kvantové mechanice i šifrách, slovnících, náhodě, entropii i řetězových dopisech. Zkušený autor kultovní knihy Chaos a řady dalších publikací uchopil téma „informace“ skutečně od základu – knihu otevírá půvabná kapitola o „dálkové řeči“ afrických bubeníků (komunikačnímu kanálu, jehož kapacitě se schopnosti naší civilizace vyrovnaly až ke konci 19. století) a v...

Chaos
ISBN: 9780749386061 / Angielski / Miękka / 1998 / 368 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 8-10 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) This book brings together different work in the new field of physics called the chaos theory, an extension of classical mechanics, in which simple and complex causes are seen to interact. Mathematics may only be able to solve simple linear equations which experiment has pushed nature into obeying in a limited way, but now that computers can map the whole plane of solutions of non-linear equations a new vision of nature is revealed. The implications are staggeringly universal in all areas of scientific work and philosophical thought.
