This is the beginning of Chaos
342560
This is the very first book about Chaos I've ever read. And it was the right one: Now, my Master degree thesis is about nonlinear dynamics.
Everybody can read this book and rapidly enjoy this new way to see the world. The beauty of the book doesn't reside on the highly technified material it covers, it resides on the passion that Gleick reflects when he describes this journey into discovery. This book is the milestone to the beginning of a self-directed search for knowledge and sense in a complex but wonderful world.
For those who already know about Chaos theory, fractals and nonlinearity, this book represents a great opportunity to remember that the mathematics can be beautiful and overwhelmingly common in the real world too.

this is an awesome cd the band really hit the nail on the head with this one. dystopia is wha we are living in now days. especially with obama in office. i didn't elect him but hes the vermin destroying the usa. this is exactly what is happening and gonna happen if he gets put back in. that better not happen. govt trying to control everyone one by illegally monitoring us already doing then drugging us all into complacency. trying but ultimately failing. especially with people like me. gonna make sure of that people like me and ted nugent are patriots and always will be. we fought to prevent this from happening we will again if we have to. and we will kick a. s. s.

So with this book, we have insane politics, insane battles, insane inter varus politics, galactics,  and so so much breaking of galactic law.  Book 5 is set up to have some far reaching escapades.  Sooo excited

A really good explanation of a messy series of incidents. Makes what seems confusing in the news understandable, good writing. More of an analysis of chaos, that a tell all.

But at long last the end is in sight.  This prologue was amazing.  Whets the appetite.  I will be first in line to buy this book in January.  Hoping to see Brandon and Harriet on the book tour as well.

I'm going to avoid organizing until the absolute late moment.  Starting with a filing system is useful and practical.  I'm on my way, thanks.

This is a great start to the Bushido series.  The Japan vs Gracie set is decent and the Newton vs Renzo fight is unbelievable.

Holy moly there is some trouble brewing.  This should be interesting.  So love this series.  Keep it up ladies.  Awesome!

So now we are entering the fourth test. More schemes, more betrayals, and Grace is still clueless. I'm not sure I can continue but in a weird way they keep pulling me to know exactly what happens. David is still a massive jerk. Now he knows he can't live without her nor wants to but yet he's setting her up to fail. Really? This is nuts. Amber and Andrew are making it to the point it's becoming day time drama worthy or really crappy reality tv. It's getting almost predictable.

Inspirational. When will the people of Ukrainia finally wake up and realize how badly they need Decker's help? This sad dictatorship needs to be pummeled into shape.

So, if you have read the first 3 stories, as the ZA came about, all the fighting in the middle east brought everyone together and effectively ended THAT war.  Moving forward to this book, they are now in the good old US of A and surprise surprise (sarcasm), Americans working together is not the case.  Sure, there are the typical "take advantage of the weak and scared" crowd, but this book introduces the higher powers that are warring amongst themselves, whether or not for the greater good still remains to be seen, but not surprising, people in power do not have the best interests of Americans or humans in mind or action.  New, important characters are introduced to make this much more that just the ZA introduced in the normal ways (if this is your genre of choice) and I will be immediately reading the 5th installment to see what happens next.  Who do you trust, will people be able to keep their promises to others, and will they find a cure?

What a confusing mess. So we have a small group of scientists (rifters) living and working on the ocean floor abusing each other and taking risks swimming amongst sea monsters and boiling expulsions of water from underground.  They are all damaged individuals and the claustrophobia and threats outside their habitat result in chaos. The novel has pessimistic ending which leads to the 2nd book in this series, but I don't see any reason to continue.

Omg. I liked the first two but this is getting out of hand ready for the series to end. This is too much and way too many characters. Honestly you should've stopped after book 2#.

This is the beginning of the super Damien chapter and as expected he's not dealing well with it. I hope it's not going to be as predictable as this issue.

The chaos spread about the world  becomes apparent when one sees the dark forces at work. Trying to force an unnatural template upon the natural world.

The team is separated, and the characters need to figure out what their priorities are.

This episode is packed with explosive action, and psychological torment. Basically, my favourite kind of story. We're learning a lot more about the ever-present countdown and those behind it. And this is one of the things that I really like about the story, is the villains have a purpose. A noble purpose, even. They're certainly not going about it in the best of ways (if there is a best way), but you can almost sympathize with them.

And this is really the only time that a cliffhanger ending is okay. I might not have agreed with myself back when the series was incomplete. I might have torn my hair out. But the series is done now, so I don't need to wait. I'm going to jump right into the final episode with both feet and get carried along for the ride.

You should come on the ride, too. This series is too good to miss!
