Self-organized criticality, the spontaneous development of systems
to a critical state, is the first general theory of complex systems
with a firm mathematical basis. This theory describes how many
seemingly desperate aspects of the world, from stock market crashes
to mass extinctions, avalanches to solar flares, all share a set of
simple, easily described properties.
..".a'must read'...Bak writes with such ease and lucidity, and his
ideas are so intriguing...essential reading for those interested in
complex systems...it will reward a sufficiently skeptical reader."
-NATURE
..".presents the theory (self-organized criticality) in a form
easily absorbed by the non-mathematically inclined reader." -BOSTON
BOOK REVIEW
"I picture Bak as a kind of scientific musketeer; flamboyant,
touchy, full of swagger and ready to join every fray... His book is
written with panache. The style is brisk, the content stimulating.
I recommend it as a bracing experience." -NEW SCIENTIST
