From business cycles to budding trends, models make sense of a world that never stops spinning. The Change Book delivers 52 simple and effective models--each with a visual component--about how change happens.

Drawing on myth-busting theories and breakthrough discoveries from thinkers of all stripes, Mikael Krogerus and Roman Tschappeler, authors of the international bestseller The Decision Book, apply their characteristic wit and knack for the succinct to show what fuels the internet, why empires rise and fall, and why change hurts--but ultimately helps us...

This highly respected, frequently cited book addresses two exciting fields: pattern formation and synchronization of oscillators. It systematically develops the dynamics of many-oscillator systems of dissipative type, with special emphasis on oscillating reaction-diffusion systems. The author applies the reductive perturbation method and the phase description method to the onset of collective rhythms, the formation of wave patterns, and diffusion-induced chemical turbulence.
This two-part treatment starts with a section on methods, defining and exploring the reductive perturbation...

What causes one system to break down and another to rebound? Are we merely subject to the whim of forces beyond our control? Or, in the face of constant disruption, can we build better shock absorbers--for ourselves, our communities, our economies, and for the planet as a whole?

Reporting firsthand from the coral reefs of Palau to the back streets of Palestine, Andrew Zolli and Ann Marie Healy relate breakthrough scientific discoveries,...

Dieses Buch bietet eine erste Einfuhrung in die mathematische Theorie der dynamischen Systeme, die fur Studierende des letzten Studienjahres des Bachelor Studiums und fur das Master Studium geeignet ist. Aufbauend auf den Grundbegriffen der Topologischen Dynamik und der Ergodentheorie in den ersten beiden Kapiteln behandelt das dritte Kapitel den fur die Ergodentheorie zentralen Begriff der Entropie, der seinen Ursprung in der statistischen Physik und der Informationstheorie hat, und der die Komplexitat eines matheoretischen dynamischen Systems quantifiziert. Das vierte Kapitel ist...

The Science of Everything refers to a fundamental problem in science since the early 20th century. Albert Einstein was preoccupied with it for most of his later life. It has been a challenge which Stephen Hawking has grappled with. Put very simply, the problem in physics involves integrating Einstein's theory of gravitation -- which describes space, time, and matter on the vast scale of the whole universe from planets to galaxies -- with quantum mechanics, which deals with the smallest possible scale of elementary particles. So far no one in physics has been able to describe or demonstrate...
