为什么值得读
- 解释清晰透彻，远胜流于表面的通俗读物
- 对确定性混沌的阐述令人震撼且茅塞顿开
- 常被敏捷与系统思考领域专家作为基石推荐
作者描述了研究自然界复杂性增长的科学家如何在混沌中发现秩序与规律。他解释了诸如 nonlinearity、Butterfly Effect、universal constants、fractals 以及 strange attractors 等概念，并探讨了 Mitchell J. Feigenbaum、Edward Lorenz 和 Benoit Mandelbrot 等科学家的研究成果。

看到 James Gleick 没上榜还挺遗憾的，不过总得有个取舍标准。给看到这层的所有人安利一下《Chaos: Making A New Science》。
It's sad to see that James Gleick did not make the list, but you must draw the line somewhere. For anyone who sees this, may I suggest Chaos: Making A New Science.
我根本读不下去《Tipping Point》，在我看来，它想解释混沌理论（Chaos）却搞得跟幼儿园水平似的，完全是一次失败的尝试，而这部分在 James Gleick 的《Chaos: Making a New Science》里讲得极其出色。再加上他还闹出了把“特征值（eigenvalue）”写成“Igon Value”这种贻笑大方的大笑话。讲故事确实是一把好手，但也仅此而已了。
I was unable to finish "Tipping Point" as it was, in my view, a failed kindergarten-level attempt to explain Chaos, which was done so superbly in 'Chaos: Making a New Science' by James Gleick. That plus his howler about "Igon Value." A good storyteller, yes, but that is the limit.
……3/6，大概 7:10）为什么他们还在这么说？当年我第一次在 James Gleick 的书 [1] 里读到确定性混沌（deterministic chaos）时，激动得几乎热泪盈眶，满心震撼。它彻底打开了我的眼界，而且逻辑完全讲得通。[1] Chaos: Making a New Science (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chaos:_Making_a_New_Science)
…3/6, cca 7:10) Why are the still saying that? When I first read about deterministic chaos in the James Gleick book [1], I almost wept with joy and awe. It opened my eyes and made complete sense. [1] Chaos: Making a New Science (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chaos:_Making_a_New_Science)
