Explores the area between chaos and equilibrium-- the domain of living things. Proposes "Self organized criticallity" as the process that results in a signature type of statistics, the power laws. Earthquakes, traffic flow, evolution, fingerprint formation, are all examples. This book goes well with Order Out of Chaos by Prigogene. Some ambiguous examples, graphs and explanations, this is mostly a hand waving book with little mathematical content, but lots of computer simulations.
