Description & Specifications

'SYNC' is a story of an astonishing kind of order in the universe, the harmony that results from cycles in sync. The tendency to synchronize is one of nature's most extensive drives. It ranges from humans to planets, from animals to atoms. In 'SYNC', Professor Steven Strogatz examines a series of applications - human sleep and circadian rhythms, menstrual synchrony, insect eruptions, superconductors, lasers, secret codes, cardiac arrhythmias, and trends - connecting everything through an exploration of the same mathematical theme: self-organization, or the spontaneous emergence of order from chaos. Focused enough to present a consistent world of their own, Strogatz's chosen topics touch on several of the hottest directions in modern science.
