What happens to scientific knowledge when researchers outside the natural sciences bring elements of the latest trend across disciplinary boundaries for their own purposes?
With industrial systems becoming ever more mechanized and reliant on advanced technology, the complexity of equipment, especially in risky industries, is increasing on a daily basis.
A bold, visionary, and mind-bending exploration of how the geometry of chaos can explain our uncertain world-from weather and pandemics to quantum physics and free will Covering a breathtaking range of topics from climate change to the foundations of quantum physics, from economic modelling to conflict prediction, from free will to consciousness and spirituality The Primacy of Doubt takes us on a unique journey through the science of uncertainty.

Galileo Unbound traces the journey that brought us from Galileo's law of free fall to today's geneticists measuring evolutionary drift, entangled quantum particles moving among many worlds, and our lives as trajectories traversing a health space with thousands of dimensions.
This book provides the reader with an elementary introduction to chaos and fractals, suitable for students with a background in elementary algebra, without assuming prior coursework in calculus or physics.
Covering a broad range of topics, this text provides a comprehensive survey of the modelling of chaotic dynamics and complexity in the natural and social sciences.
