The SocialAtom: Why the Rich Get Richer, Cheaters Get Caught, and Your Neighbor Usually Looks Like You
from Bloomsbury USA
Price: $16.47

Customer Review:

As an avid reader of the late, great Isaac Asimov's fabulous "Foundation" novels in my miss-spent youth, I was thrilled to read this book. I see it as the first faint glimmering of the possibility of developing the kind of social science which Asimov described in his novels. Buchanan does a great... more info

from Hyperion
Price: $10.17

Customer Review:

It covers a lot of topics and some of them are entertaining. But seems unfocused and hard to get a big picture.

Emergence: The Connected Lives of Ants, Brains, Cities, and Software
from Scribner
Price: $10.20

Customer Review:

For those with a technical interest in the matter, this is a nice soft intro to the topics with which concerned. It is written with a somewhat emotional style; probably not an ideal technical resource.
For the readers not akin to the concepts at all, the book successfully conveys a nice (and... more info

Signals and Systems (Prentice-Hall Signal Processing Series)

I am an Aerospace graduate student reading this book on my own time and pace (not taking the undergrad Electrical Engineering class that teaches/uses this book).

Complex Adaptive Systems: An Introduction to Computational Models of Social Life (Princeton Studies in Complexity)
from Princeton University Press
Price: $23.35

Customer Review:

Miller and Page have written an excellent, very accessible introduction to complex systems as applied to social phenomena. They are especially careful in discussing inferences based on computer simulations. Since any computer simulation is an extreme reduction of real social interactions, it's... more info

Elements of Information Theory
from Wiley-Interscience

Customer Review:

I am writing this review in response to some confusion and unfairness I see in other reviews. Cover and Thomas have written a unique and ambitious introduction to a fascinating and complex subject; their book must be judged fairly and not compared to other books that have entirely different... more info

Chaos: Making a New Science
from Penguin (Non-Classics)
Price: $13.60

Customer Review:

Chaos by James Gleick is a must read if you like keeping up with science or just like reading things that broaden the perspectives of your thinking. Gleick does a masterful job of simplifying the science of Chaos to a level any bright kid can understand while not diminishing any of its importance or... more info
