brossura 'Può il batter d'ali di una farfalla in Brasile provocare un tornado in Texas?' È il titolo di un intervento di Lorenz, uno dei padri della teoria del caos, che introduce i sistemi complessi. La complessità ha un ruolo nei settori più disparati: dalla biologia, alla medicina, alla fisica, all'economia, alle scienze sociali, alla geologia, e questo libro aiuta a trovare una risposta ad alcune di queste domande. Perché un essere vivente deve scambiare energia e materia con l'ambiente circostante? Qual è l'importanza delle interazioni al suo interno e con gli altri? Che cosa significa che le irreversibilità sono origine di ordine? Quanto sono lunghi i confini fra nazioni? Come mai i fenomeni più diversi sono governati da leggi dello stesso tipo? Dalla comprensione di un impianto di riscaldamento alle previsioni meteorologiche fino ai frattali: i grandi temi della fisica spiegati attraverso il vissuto quotidiano.
