Sobre este item
New York, NY: W H Freeman, 1994. First Edition, First Printing . Hardcover. Fine/Fine. BRAND NEW & Collectible. First Edition, First Printing. Volume published with illustrated (jaguar) and a transparent plastic dust jacket which serves as an overlay with title in black print to front & inner flaps, and red ink for back cover text. New York born, 1969 recipient of the Nobel for physics Murray Gell-Mann (1929 - ) is a man of many intellectual interests. He coined the term quark (particles from which elementary hadrons are formed) from playful reference to James Joyce's Finnegan's Wake ("Three Quarks for Muster Mark!"). And the title for this volume, which explores the concept of complexity, is taken from a line of a poem by his friend Alfred Sze, "The world of a quark has everything to do with a jaguar circling in the night." Gell-mann hopes this book will help convey "some of the thrill ... about the chain of relationships linking the quark to the jaguar and to human being as well." 23 chapters in 4 parts: Part I, The Simple & the Complex; II, The Quantum Universe; III, Selection & Fitness; and, IV, Diversity & Sustainability. The book is an interesting as Murray Gell-Mann is.
