Flow: Nature's Patterns: A Tapestry in Three Parts

From the swirl of a wisp of smoke to eddies in rivers and the huge persistent storm system that is the Great Spot on Jupiter we see similar forms and patterns wherever there is flow - whether the movement of wind water sand or flocks of birds. It is the complex dynamics of flow that structures our atmosphere land and oceans. Part of a trilogy of books exploring the science of patterns in nature by acclaimed science writer Philip Ball this volume explores the elusive rules that govern flow - the science of chaotic behavior.
