"Chaos: The Making of a New Science" is a world bestseller by American journalist James Glick, translated into more than two dozen languages, in which he tells the story of the emergence of the science of chaos. Starting with the accidental discovery of meteorologist Edward Lorenz, who was trying to create a model for long-term weather forecasting, Glick consistently reconstructs the entire chain of sudden insights and unusual experiments that led scientists to the realization that there are universal laws of nature that are still unknown to them. Glick not only tells the story of the birth of a new science, but also reflects on how scientific progress occurs and what is the role of mad geniuses in it, searching for unconventional solutions despite existing knowledge.
