I make an exception if the author provides a stunningly good read as John Gribbin does in Deep Simplicity. It's a quick and poignant subject survey. It is thoroughly applicable across scientific disciplines. It is by degrees overcome by events in specific areas of which the perpetual boogeyman of gravitational theory and the esoteric P versus NP problem of complexity have both evolved into a real world problems as revealed in collecting simple understandings of the expected LHC sensor outputs. Gribbin provides a curious slant to order and chaos through an unfamiliar evolution and synergy among Newton's statics & dynamics through Maxwell's electromagnetics, Fourier's thermodynamics and the limits of mathematical philosophy in Poincare's `n-body' insolubility. I enjoyed the path that Gribbin's takes the reader to understand his argument. There are detours that the topically familiar reader will identify to depart, by degrees, Gribbin's conclusion. This in no way detracts from the Gribbin's effort, rather, Gribbin's argument is a springboard to further development. That there are newly emergent paths to consider after only 6 years of the book's publication speaks to the dynamic subject. The physical sciences have evolved to require a `new' science for information extraction of the many constructs of physical, mathematical and logical operations to integrate in language that carries meaning. Gribbin's hits all around the requirement. Watching IBM's tour de force "Watson" demolish his human competition on Jeopardy through the application of knowledge algorithms is important in the premise Gribbin's initiates. Read Deep Simplicity if for no other reason than gaining a better grasp of the mathematical power properties of complex systems and the significance and real world application of 1/f noise management. Review: Fantastic book - I wish this book was available when I went to college. We studied a lot of the things John Gribbin talks about. But it was presented as something very abstract, "pure" advanced math without any connection to the real world around. As such it made for a VERY boring subject and torturous four years. I am truly amazed at how seemingly easy John Gribbin can take the same subject and explain it so eloquently and in very practical terms! In my view this is a perfect example of a great book (see Mortimer Adler's "How to Read a Book", a must for anyone who wants to read analytically) - it can teach most people something new and make your brain work at it. Finally, I would not have stumbled upon this book if it wasn't for Charlie Munger (of Berkshire Hathaway fame) and his annual book recommendations at BRK's annual meeting. He is a wise man and this was a proof that it's worth listening to anything he says. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #47,394 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #4 in Chaos Theory #90 in Pure Mathematics (Books) #149 in History & Philosophy of Science (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 4.4 out of 5 stars (104) | | Dimensions | 5.72 x 1.05 x 8.54 inches | | Edition | 3.6.2005 | | ISBN-10 | 140006256X | | ISBN-13 | 978-1400062560 | | Item Weight | 15.2 ounces | | Language | English | | Print length | 304 pages | | Publication date | April 5, 2005 | | Publisher | Random House | ## Images ![Deep Simplicity: Bringing Order to Chaos and Complexity - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71MKtA+hIrL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ What will Watson think? *by S***E on February 23, 2011* Having only just read the book 6 years after publication, I don't typically write a review for a book that so many others have already provided excellent reviews.
