Everyday chaos : the mathematics of unpredictability, from the weather to the stock market

An introduction to the concepts of chaos and complexity, explaining how unpredictable interactions shape the real world. Using everyday examples, it illustrates how self-organising systems behave and how scientists analyse these phenomena to make predictions.
