This book, along with John Holland's "Hidden Order" is the one that has helped me the most. It does not give you the answers. Instead it is like having a conversation with a very experienced, intelligent and knowledgeable person who is trying to understand something that I am also interested in. I would give it six stars if I could. ### ⭐⭐⭐ Good material but poorly written *by A***M on Reviewed in the United States on July 21, 2001* This is undoubtedly a very interesting book, but unfortunately it is part of a modern tendency from certain authors to show "look how clever I am", without really explainig things properly. The authors present a lot of exciting and interesting material, but leave the reader in a frustrating situation of shallow explanations too often. Some of the inserted Boxes are particularly frustrating, as equations and conclusions seem to appear from nowhere. Some paragraphs have been written too hastily and would have required more explanations. In summary a good and stimulating book which can wet the appetite of many readers, but if you are looking for serious reference in the area you have to look elsewhere. ### ⭐⭐⭐ How all the explanatory parts don't explain the whole *by T***N on Reviewed in the United States on November 30, 2002* This book is filled with chapter after chapter of 'gee-whiz' factoids and equations about some interesting attempts to make some scientific sense out of the nature of biological systems. All the appropriate buzzwords: 'complexity', 'emergence', 'chaos', 'neural nets', 'fractals', and so on are amply represented. As a compilation or overview of the research efforts into these various areas, this book succeeds reasonably well. For this, it gets three stars.They explain to us in the Preface, "The consistent theme that runs throughout...is the understanding of biological processes in terms of complex dynamics from which emerge characteristic patterns of order. The objective is to show how scientists are thinking in this area and what tools are available for understanding the creative process."But, there is no concluding chapter, no summarization, no binding coherence beyond some vague sense of it all being somehow complex stuff, from ant colonies to brains to stock markets. All the different chapters convey their different messages and that is that. It all sounds important, highly scientific, cutting-edge, and intriguing. Gee, isn't it all amazing?When it is all said and done, however, there is very little about biological systems that is actually explained by all these sexy topics.An unintentional byproduct of this overview - what is most glaringly apparent when the dust settles and the mind clears - is the feebleness of all these efforts in making much of a dent in understanding life to any serious degree. And I think if there is one lesson to be taken away from this book, it ought to be that. For that feebleness makes a deep statement about the cogency of the application of the types of modalities presented to the problem of life, and about the notion of 'emergence' in general as being a computational problem. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.kw/products/12464439-signs-of-life-how-complexity-pervades-biology](https://www.desertcart.com.kw/products/12464439-signs-of-life-how-complexity-pervades-biology) --- *Product available on Desertcart Kuwait* *Store origin: KW* *Last updated: 2026-05-17*
