Crashes, Crises, and Calamities

"Crashes, Crises, and Calamities" explores how science can help predict and manage sudden and unexpected events across various domains, from societal collapses to natural phenomena. Drawing on fields such as ecology, biology, mathematics, and physics, author Len Fisher introduces four key tools—stability, catastrophe, complexity, and game theories—that enable us to better understand and anticipate complex patterns. Accessible and engaging, the book offers insights into how scientific principles can help us navigate an uncertain future.
