Synopsis

Published in 1963, "Self-Organizing Systems" is a pioneering collection of essays that delves into the principles underpinning self-organization across various disciplines, including biology, cybernetics, and social sciences. The text's literary style is characterized by its analytical rigor, employing a scientific lens to explore how complex systems arise spontaneously from the interactions of simpler components, challenging reductionist paradigms. This book sits within the broader context of post-war scientific exploration, reflecting an era where interdisciplinary collaboration became essential in understanding emergent phenomena. The authors, a diverse group of scholars including biologists, mathematicians, and cyberneticians, were influenced by the rapid advancements in systems theory and technology during the mid-20th century. Their collective backgrounds in fields like thermodynamics and information theory informed their perspectives, allowing them to tackle pressing questions regarding order, chaos, and adaptive behavior in emerging social and biological systems. This intersection of expertise reflects a pivotal moment in academic inquiry that sought to unify fragmented knowledge. "Self-Organizing Systems" is a critical read for those engaged in the study of complex systems, systems theory, and emergent behavior. With its profound insights and holistic approach, this work not only deepens our understanding of self-organization but also challenges readers to rethink the nature of order in chaos'Äîan essential read for both seasoned scholars and curious minds alike.

    The ocean is filled with scientific discoveries—and God’s presence.  For marine biologist Rachel Jordan, both science and Scripture are means of knowing creation and Creator. In If the Ocean Has a Soul, Rachel considers the natural world through a spiritual lens, meshing marine biology with biblical truths in a keen and current take on faith and science. With engaging storytelling and deep knowledge of the Bible, she asks and answers questions like:  How can Christians reconcile religion and science when the two seem opposed?  What do suffering and death teach us about the character of Jesus?  How do we care for the environment when there seems to be little hope for repair?  What do the ocean and its sea creatures, specifically, reveal about God?  In these chapters, Rachel recounts fascinating aquatic phenomena alongside the sometimes humorous, sometimes tragic stories of animals she has known. You’ll lose yourself in the shadows of an underwater labyrinth; hear spiritual wisdom from a great-grandmother coral the size of a Volkswagen Beetle; and fall in love with Porky, the pudgy porcupinefish greeting visitors at the Windjammer shipwreck. And along the way, you’ll see how the promise of restoration unfolds in both physical and spiritual ways. Rachel’s thoughtful scientific and theological insights encourage us to know the Creator of the sea and everything in it.
