Self-Organization in Non-Equilibrium Systems by G. Nicolis and E. Prigogine is a fascinating and in-depth study that opens up to the reader the world of complex systems, their dynamics and self-regulation. This work, written by outstanding scientists, Nobel laureates, examines the fundamental principles of self-organization, which underlie many phenomena in nature and society. From the first pages of the book, the authors immerse the reader in the exciting world of physics, chemistry and biology, demonstrating how systems in a state of disequilibrium are capable of self-regulation and the formation of complex structures. Nicolis and Prigogine use many real-life examples to illustrate their ideas, from crystal formation and biological organisms to social interactions and economic processes. This makes the book not only a scientific work, but also a fascinating reading for all who are interested in how the world around us works. Who can like this book? First of all, it will be of interest to students and graduate students studying physics, chemistry, biology and related disciplines . However, "Self-organization in non-equilibrium systems" will also attract the attention of a wide audience, including lovers of scientific literature, philosophers and anyone who seeks to understand the complex processes occurring in nature and society. If you have ever thought about how order and structure emerge from chaos, this book will be a real discovery for you. The topics raised in the book cover a wide range of issues relating to self-organization, non-equilibrium processes, and their impact on various aspects of life. The authors investigate how the interaction between elements of a system can lead to the emergence of new properties that cannot be predicted based on the properties of individual elements. This discovery is of great importance for understanding not only physical and chemical processes, but also social and economic phenomena. The book raises questions about how self-organization can help address global challenges such as climate change, economic crises, and social conflicts. The style of Nikolis and Prigogine is distinguished by clarity and accessibility, which makes complex scientific concepts understandable to a wide audience. They skillfully balance between deep analysis and fascinating narrative, which allows the reader not only to assimilate information, but also to enjoy the reading process. In addition, the authors actively use metaphors and analogies, which helps to make the material more visual and memorable. Nicolis and Prigogine are also known for their other works, such as "Structure of Scientific Revolutions" and "Time, Structure and Self-Organization", which also explore complex systems and their behavior. Their contributions to science and philosophy are invaluable, and Self-Organization in Non-Equilibrium Systems is a prime example of their mastery. If you are looking for a book that will not only expand your knowledge of nature and society, but also make you think about how we can use the principles of self-organization to solve modern problems, then “Self-organization in non-equilibrium systems” will be an excellent choice. This book is not just a scientific work; it is an invitation to reflect on how we can better understand and interact with the world around us. Do not miss the opportunity to immerse yourself in this fascinating world of science and discover new horizons of understanding!
