The Quark And The Jaguar: Adventures in the Simple and the Complex

Product was sold as new but is falling apart and is highlighted throughout

Very good oveview of fundamental physics as well as interesting comments in other fields of scienceOf course latest discoveries in physics are not in this book but none of them are as fundamental as the quarks the author has discovered

The book arrived promptly and is in perfect condition. Thank you very much.

Hope the book is not a xerox one. If not , I am happy

If you're a layman like me, buy this book. Don't listen to the pompous, negative-sounding reviews above/below. Complexity, Information Theory, Financial Markets - this one book alone explains in language you can understand concepts of pseudo-randomness that illuminate all these topics and more. Its a delight to read. Having read a lot on Information Theory and Complexity, this book is simply a marvel in making it all just that bit clearer, and if you haven't read anything on these subjects, start with this one.

Quark and the Jaguar;Questo e' un libro che deve essere letto;specialmente per capire i tempi che stiamo vivendo;nonostante viviamo una vita intera nel quotidiano, cio' non deve impedirci una piccola riflessione; questa e' sufficiente a tutti per capire che l'essenza della vita e' di tipo complessa sia essa evolutiva che adattativa(Quark and the Jaguar );tutti coloro che hanno avuto la fortuna di incontrare l'autore sono stati arricchiti di questa consapevolezza.grazie al Prof. Murray Gell-Mann.by Michele Falduto
