Complexity: The Emerging Science at the Edge of Order and ChaosWhy did the stock market crash more than 500 points on a single Monday in 1987? Why do ancient species often remain stable in the fossil record for millions of years and then suddenly disappear? In a world where nice guys often finish last, why do humans value trust and cooperation? At first glance these questions don't appear to have anything in common, but in fact every one of these statements refers to a complex system. The science of complexity
Why did the stock market crash more than 500 points on a single Monday in 1987? Why do ancient species often remain stable in the fossil record for millions of years and then suddenly disappear? In a world where nice guys often finish last, why do humans value trust and cooperation? At first glance these questions don't appear to have anything in common, but in fact every one of these statements refers to a complex system. The science of complexity studies how single elements, such as a species or a stock, spontaneously organize into complicated structures like ecosystems and economies; stars become galaxies, and snowflakes avalanches almost as if these systems were obeying a hidden yearning for order.Drawing from diverse fields, scientific luminaries such as Nobel Laureates Murray Gell-Mann and Kenneth Arrow are studying complexity at a think tank called The Santa Fe Institute. The revolutionary new discoveries researchers have made there could change the face of every science from biology to cosmology to economics. M. Mitchell Waldrop's groundbreaking bestseller takes readers into the hearts and minds of these scientists to tell the story behind this scientific revolution as it unfolds.

Well made, true to size, comfortable, and attractive looking!
Size: 12, Color: Black
Wife was wanting a new pair of heels for a work party she has coming up and I happened to see these and thought they strongly resembled what she was looking for so I got them as a surprise for her. They arrived a few days ago and she tried them on that night and wore them around the house and to work a couple times to see how she likes them. So far, she is extremely pleased with them! She said they fit perfect and she's had no issues with comfort wearing them all day for work. She really likes the wider heel as it gives her more stability. Her favorite thing so far though has been all the compliments/comments she's getting from the other ladies in her office about them.

Secure and super comfortable.
Size: 9, Color: Black, Size: 9, Color: Black
Lucky Brand nailed it with these sandals. The craftsmanship of the leather is top notch. I love the look of the crossover straps, they add a chic touch to any outfit. The fit is fantastic, I ordered my usual size 9 and found them to be perfectly true to size.

Impressed
Size: XX-Large, Color: Black
I’ll be honest, I didn’t have the highest expectations for this jacket. However, I very pleasantly surprised by the fit and quality. The jacket fit very well and just as I expected. The quality was even more impressive with the weight and overall quality of the denim. For the the price, this jacket definitely hits all the marks. I was able to style it perfectly with a hoodie.

A timeless classic at a great price
Size: X-Large, Color: Black, Size: X-Large, Color: Black
This is honestly a very well-made denim jacket, with all the classic features found on a Type III Trucker Jacket: 2 breast pockets, 2 side pockets, 2 inner pockets. The material feels very comfortable and thick and strong at the same time. A multi purpose jacket that will be your perfect companion for almost all seasons in almost all situations. I took an XL size because I wanted to wear a sweatshirt under it. I weigh 198 pounds and am 5.7 tall. I will probably buy another one in L size for a tighter fit.
