Self-Organization in Non-Equilibrium Systems by G. Nicolis and E. Prigogine is an outstanding work that opens doors to the world of complex systems and their amazing properties. Known for their revolutionary ideas in physics and chemistry, Nikolis and Prigogine offer readers a unique perspective on the processes of self-organization that occur in nature and society. This is not just a scientific work, but a real intellectual odyssey that can captivate both professionals and science lovers. The book immerses the reader in the world of non-equilibrium systems, where the usual laws of thermodynamics begin to act differently. The authors explain how ordered structures and complex forms of organization can emerge from chaos and disorder. This phenomenon of self-organization is observed in a variety of areas: from biological systems to social interactions. The reader will be able to learn how simple rules and interactions can lead to complex phenomena, such as the formation of ecosystems, the development of cells and even the behavior of society. Who is this book intended for? It will be of interest not only to students and graduate students studying physics, chemistry or biology, but also to all those who are interested in complex systems, chaos theory and the philosophy of science . If you like to solve the riddles of nature and strive to understand how complex structures arise from simple elements, then “Self-organization in non-equilibrium systems” will be a real discovery for you. The book will also be useful to researchers working in interdisciplinary fields where physics, biology, and sociology intersect. The topics raised in the book go beyond traditional scientific discussions. The authors explore how self-organization can be related to issues of sustainability and adaptation, as well as how these processes affect the development of various systems. They raise important questions about how we can use knowledge about self-organization to address current issues such as climate change, ecology, and social conflict. The book inspires reflection on how we can apply these concepts in our daily lives and in the management of complex systems. The style of Nikolis and Prigogine is clear and accessible, which allows the reader to easily immerse himself in complex concepts. The authors use many examples and illustrations to make the material more understandable and fascinating. Their previous works, such as Time, Chaos and Quantum Mechanics and Complex Systems: From Biology to Sociology, are also noteworthy and can serve as an excellent addition to understanding the topics covered in this book. “Self-organization in non-equilibrium systems” is not just a book, but a whole world of ideas that inspires new discoveries and reflections. It will become an indispensable source of knowledge for all who seek to understand the complex processes occurring around us, and find beauty and order in them. If you are looking for literature that combines scientific rigor and philosophical depth, then this work should definitely take its rightful place on your shelf.
