How Nature Works: The Science of Self-Organized Criticality (Copernicus) by Per Bak
English | 1 Jun. 1996 | ISBN: 0387947914 | 240 Pages | PDF | 19 MB

This theory describes how many seemingly desperate aspects of the world, from stock market crashes to mass extinctions, avalanches to solar flares, all share a set of simple, easily described properties.
