IF YOU EVER WANTED TO KNOW how many links connect you and the Pope, or why when the U. S. Federal Reserve Bank sneezes the global economy catches cold, read this book, writes John L. Casti (Santa Fe Institute). This "cogent and engaging" (Nature) work presents the fundamental principles of the emerging field of "small-worlds" theory-the idea that a hidden pattern is the key to how networks interact and exchange information, whether that network is the information highway or the firing of neurons in the brain. Highlighting groundbreaking research behind network theory, "Mark Buchanan's graceful, lucid, non-technical and entertaining prose" (Mark Granovetter) documents the mounting support among various disciplines for the small-worlds idea and demonstrates its practical applications to diverse problems-from the volatile global economy or the Human Genome Project to the spread of infectious disease or ecological damage. "The consequences of this new world view are profound-and at times disturbing" (Richard Stone, Science). | Nexus by Mark Buchanan, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
