Praise for James Gleick: Chaos Chaos is not only enthralling and precise, but full of beautifully strange and strangely beautiful ideas. -- Douglas Hofstadter There is a teleological grandeur about this new math that gives the imagination wings. -- Vogue Gleick has a novelist's touch for describing his scientists and their settings, an eye for the apt analogy, and a sense of the dramatic and the poetic. -- The San Francisco Chronicle Genius The clearest statement I have seen of the true spirit of science. Although I am a long-time friend and admirer of Feynman, I feel that I know him better after reading this book than I did before. -- Freeman Dyson A rare jewel-like biography. I can't remember a book in which, confronted with a personality so complex and a subject so difficult, I felt, as a reader, so secure. -- Robert Kanigel, The Washington Post From the Hardcover edition.
