Book Description
A groundbreaking look at complexity theory and its implications in the world of finance
Complexity theory tells us that processes with a large number of seemingly independent agents-such as free markets-can spontaneously organize themselves into a coherent system. In this fascinating book, Edgar Peters brings together scientific theory, the artistic process, and economics to show how the randomness and uncertainty of complexity theory can be applied to financial markets. Written in an engaging and accessible style, this is a thoughtful, conceptual look at the way free markets are, by their nature, continually evolving complex systems. Expanding on previous explorations of chaos theory, Peters draws on real-life examples ranging from the Asian crisis to America's love of conspiracy to show that complexity and randomness are necessary for the free markets to operate in a competitive manner.

i loved this chaos theory intoduction.......2007-04-05
I'm not a math gueek, evolutionist, or statistician. What I wanted was someone to expalain, in as simple terms as possible, what "complexity" is in terms of systems analysis - be that social, economic or otherwise. Kudos to Peters for delivering just that. I read the negative reviews written before my own, considered them, and then I bought the book anyway.
Frankly, I'm glad Peters "dumbed down" this topic for me. That's what I wanted. Not knowing much about the subject, I was still able to sense where some errors of omission were being made. And there are a few. I wish he would have finished his thought on the Monte Hall problem, for example. Don't buy this book if you are thinking it's full of exciting mathematical equations or advanced theory. It isn't. It's just an introduction to complex/chaotic systems written for the average Joe/Jane.
For all the flap over "missing Keynes' contribution" or "misrepresenting Darwin," he may very well do that. I did not buy this book expecting Peters to be a Keynes scholar or a Darwinian evolutionist. If he has read 0 Keynes and 0 Darwin, I think we can still consider him an expert on complex and chaotic systems. Certainly, Keynes and Darwin were not. I expected that Peters might know a little bit about chaos theory and complexity as it relates to the realm of economics. And that he does. So, again, kudos to Mr. Peters for dumbing down this complex topic (pun intended) enough to create a starting point for me.
Peters has overlooked Keynes's contributions in this area.......2004-11-22
Peters does an excellent job in clearly differenciating between the concepts of complexity, ignorance,risk,uncertainty,vagueness,and ambiguity.He shows how each concept has an important separate ,yet interrelated ,clearcut role to play in financial decision making.Unfortunately,Peters overlooks the fact that John Maynard Keynes had already provided an operational approach for such a decision making approach in his A Treatise on Probability(TP)in 1921.The role of conflicting and ambiguous evidence in decision making in general was discussed by Keynes in his rain-barometer-dark clouds example in chapter 3 of the TP.Keynes's point in discussing this particular problem was to show that it would be difficult to measure and quantify this particular dimension of a decision problem.The implicit danger is that no account will be taken of it if a strictly quantitative approach to decision making is taken.The importance of vagueness was discussed by Keynes in chapter 1,p.5,chapter 2,p.17 and in chapter 22,p.259.Complexity is discussed within the context of Keynes's discussion of induction and analogy.The ability to reason inductively starts to break down if the number of important independent factors(Keynes's principle of limited(finite)independent variety)grows too large and/or the interactive effects start to exhibit nonlinear relationships instead of proportionate,linear relationships.The clearcut differences between ignorance,uncertainty and risk in general decision making were discussed in chapters 6(the introduction)and chapter 26(the conclusion).Keynes defined an index to measure what he called the weight of the evidence,w, upon which probability estimates would be based.w is a measure of the completeness and the reliability of the relevant,potential,available evidence and information that a decision maker can obtain( or be aware of its existence).w is defined on the unit interval [0,1],where 0<=w<=1.Keynes's discussion of the Ellsberg Paradox takes place in chapter 6 of the TP forty years before Ellsberg published his 1961 paper.Keynes's w is practically the same as Ellsberg's rho measure of ambiguity.In the General Theory,Keynes defines uncertainty to be an inverse function of the weight of the evidence,where u(uncertainty)is a function of w.Thus,u=f(w).Ignorance(w=0),uncertainty(0<w<1)and risk(w=1)are all defined by Keynes relative to his w index.Risk can then be either linear(proportionate) or nonlinear(nonproportional).Keynes wraps all of this up into his conventional coefficient of weight and risk,c. c is a decision rule that incorporates nonlinearities in decision making.The goal of the decision maker is to maximize cA,where A is some outcome and c equals (p/1+q)(2w/1+w).This rule generalizes the expected value rule and the expected utility rule.Keynes doesn't make the common error of conflating risk with diminishing marginal utility.Finally,Keynes is the founder of the interval estimate approach to probability.Each probability has an upper and a lower bound .Keynesian expected values are thus also intervals.Keynes's development of an interval estimate approach to the estimation of probabilities in chapters 15 and 17 of the TP HAS BEEN OVERLOOKED DUE TO THE INFLUENCE OF TWO ERROR FILLED BOOK REVIEWS WRITTEN BY FRANK RAMSEY IN 1922 AND 1926,respectively.Ramsey completrly misinterpreted Keynes's definition of the words"nonnumerical" and"nonmeasurable".Keynes uses them to mean that two numerals ,not one, are needed to specify probabilities in general.Ramsey mistakenly assumed that Keynes was arguing that numbers could not be used in general to quantify the probability relation.This reviewer concludes that Peters should have based his overall approach upon Keynes's work and not upon an Austrian approach to economic theory which is impossible to operationalize due to their bias against any kind of quantification.Ramsey's criticisms are correct if applied to the Austrian position on the use of quantitative methods in decision theory.They are off target when applied to Keynes.A revised version of Peter's book would be even more convincing if he incorporated a chapter on Keynes's nearlty 80 year old approach.
Disappointing and superficial content, questionable analysis.......1999-07-25
I found the discussions of complexity and risk as applied to financial crisis to be superficial and somewhat platitudinous. There are no in depth discussions of the factors involved in any recent financial crisis. There are various discussions of risk, complexity, evolution and Keynesian vs. Austrian schools of economics but no real depth or new perspectives on any of these issues are presented. The discussion of the pros and cons of socialism(collectivism) vs. capitalism(free market) societies was not much more substantive than an article you might see in the Business Section of USA Today. A graph showing(arguing) that the US is higher in on the scale of economic "uncertainty" than China or Russia is highly suspect. One of the defining features and advantages of the US capitalistic system is the relative sanctity of private property and enforceable contracts which provide a foundation of "certainty" upon which vibrant commerce can be enabled. Such institutions are completely lacking in communist states which is one of the major reasons for their collapse. I have to question the scholarship behind the presentation of such a comparison. This book is not worth your time or money.
The dumbing down of market chaos (0 stars).......1999-07-22
Peters' earlier work, "Fractal Market Analysis", is an excellent introduction to chaos theory applied to financial markets. It's truly one of the most useful finance books I've ever read.
I was therefore shocked and extremely disappointed to find "Patterns in the Dark" to be a collection of vague, banal observations about risk and uncertainty. On the few occasions when Peters attempts to make actual statements of fact, he's wrong as often as he's right (see below). It's almost inconceivable that this book was written by the same person. I can only conclude that Mr. Peters deliberately dumbed down this book in an attempt to reach a broader audience. Unfortunately, he went way too far. That a firm like Wiley would publish a book like this is disturbing.
If you don't mind 200 large-print pages of simplistic generalities, factual errors, anecdotes devoid of insight, and cartoons (no joke), this book is for you. But if you'd like to actually learn something about the nonlinear nature of markets, read Peters' excellent "Fractal Market Analysis".
Finally, for those interested in some details of the factual errors I mentioned above, I'll provide two glaring examples.
First, the author dredges up that old chestnut of probability, the "Monte Hall Dilemma". This is an often-quoted probability question that, while trivial once understood, is counter-intuitive and hence widely misunderstood. Peters gives the correct solution, but he states that the question "has caused a great deal of debate in statistical circles" and that there is "not universal agreement" on the answer, as if it were some great unsolved problem of mathematics. This is absolute hogwash. While it has caused much confusion among the general public and the press, to someone with a basic knowledge of probability, or to anyone willing to make the effort to really think about it, it's a very simple problem.
Second, and much more disturbing, is the author's assertion that "Darwin was essentially wrong", that "the basic premise of Darwinian evolution has deep flaws". This conclusion is based on his profound misunderstanding of Darwin's theory. Peters' argument is essentially as follows: the number of possible combinations of genes in even the most simple organism is astronomical, so to "search through these combinations to find the best one" would take "longer than the age of the known universe". Of course, as any high school biology student should know, Darwinian natural selection has absolutely nothing to do with the absurd notion of exhaustively "trying out" every possible organism that could conceivably exist. If the author is interested in understanding what Darwin actually theorized, and why nearly all biologists now think he was essentially right, I would refer him to Darwin's own "The Origin of Species", and to the excellent books by Richard Dawkins.
Peters sheds light on complexity theory in finance!.......1999-05-06
Ever the standard bearer for the rational approach in the complacent and often hide-bound practices of most people to the world of financial-economics, Peters makes a compelling and ultimately convincing case for the paradigm of complexity to supplant that of equilibrium.
Lest the rank-and-file practitioner forget, the most humble methods one has for interpreting any information in the market have their conceptual grounding from the 1930's application of equilibrium in physics to economics. These humble methods include the Portfolio Theory of the 1970s and Graham & Dodd of the 1930s. What most practitioners fail to appreciate is that once that conceptual foundation is changed from equilibrium to complexity, every metric and every conclusion drawn from those metrics change also.
The changes Peters highlights, while based on solid science, challenge much of the convetional wisdom. It is the millenium and age of enlightenment. Investors should treat themselves to some of the same and read this book.

Book Description
"This is an excellent book, well-written, thoughtful, and scholarly, in a field which has very few overviews accessible to non-specialists. It is definitely a contribution to the literature and will fill a large gap in existing materials, especially in its emphasis on farmworker issues in the Southeast United States."
—Cynthia A. Wood, Associate Professor of Interdisciplinary Studies, Appalachian State University
Finding fresh fruits and vegetables is as easy as going to the grocery store for most Americans—which makes it all too easy to forget that our food is cultivated, harvested, and packaged by farmworkers who labor for less pay, fewer benefits, and under more dangerous conditions than workers in almost any other sector of the U.S. economy. Seeking to end the public's ignorance and improve workers' living and working conditions, this book addresses the major factors that affect farmworkers' lives while offering practical strategies for action on farmworker issues.
The contributors to this book are all farmworker advocates—student and community activists and farmworkers themselves. Focusing on workers in the Southeast United States, a previously understudied region, they cover a range of issues, from labor organizing, to the rise of agribusiness, to current health, educational, and legal challenges faced by farmworkers. The authors blend coverage of each issue with practical suggestions for working with farmworkers and other advocates to achieve justice in our food system both regionally and nationally.

Book Description
Within the natural sciences, only biologists take seriously teleological statements about design, purpose, and adaptive function. Some biologists claim that to understand the complex morphological and behavioral traits of organisms we must say what they are for, which is to give a teleological explanation of why organisms have them. Others argue that the theory of natural selection, in providing statistical explanations for the same phenomena, obviates any need for teleological thinking. If teleology cannot be eliminated from biology, it raises fundamental questions about the nature of biological explanation and about the relationship of biology to the rest of science.
To account for "Nature's purposes" is arguably the most important basic issue in the philosophy of biology. This volume provides a guide to the discussion among biologists and philosophers about the role of concepts such as function and design in an evolutionary understanding of life. All of the contributors examine biological teleology from a naturalistic perspective. Most of them maintain that teleological claims in biology both describe and explain something--but opinions vary as to exactly what is explained and how.

Needed if you're going to write on functions..........2004-02-05
This is an excellent anthology if you are beginning to do research on functions, or just any research in the philosophy of biology. It has many classic papers, and is balanced in point of view-- overall, a great starting place.

A lot of this is way off base.......2004-07-19
A lot of the reviews have focused on how well-researched this book is and while some of the elements are, a lot of them are obviously urban legends or horribly over-exaggerated anecdotes given by people who obviously are not aware of much about rats and are speaking only from fear or cultural stereotypes. I spent a great deal of time examining the points he made about how rats are ferocious, disease-ridden, gluttonous and tend to over-populate their environment and I couldn't help but draw a parallel with humankind and wonder if that is why humans have always held them in such horror - because they hold up a very unflattering mirror to us. Nonetheless, he tends to open up each chapter with horrifying, sensationlistic stories about rats lurking in corners preparing to jump out and eat babies or some other such nonsense whereas anyone who knows anything about rats will tell you that rats much prefer to avoid humans and will not tend to bite unless they are provoked (or you smell like food, because they are remarkably short-sighted) - and being at heart lazy animals, prefer much easier to attain meals than humans, which are much larger than they are. His hysterical listing of the diseases that rats carry is outdated; many of the diseases listed have since been determined to actually be much more frequently carried by other animals, including other rodents that humans find "cute," such as prairie dogs and squirrels (but we don't find mass extermination campaigns against them, do we?). Zoonosis from rodents, in any case, is extremely rare in industrialized countries in the modern era. Overall I was very disappointed in this book - I was hoping for some cold, hard facts and instead I got all the same sort of hysteria and sensationalism I could get reading the Star. The only reason I gave it 3 stars was because there were a few interesting facts in there, and the bibliography is most useful. If you are actually interested in learning about rats, I suggest you look elsewhere.
don't miss it !!!!.......2001-11-14
While I would have like to have seen a slightly more sympathetic view of rodentia, this book is jam-packed with incredible facts and very intriguing, well-researched and well-written.
Facts on Rats.......2000-03-30
I had read an earlier edition of this book and thought the book needed updated. When I bought the recent edition and read it, I was disappointed. The facts are there, but as previously noted, there are no citations.
I grow weary of the same old 19th century drawings of rats that appear in this and most other books dealing with rats. I guess real photos just don't look menacing enough. Rats get lots of bad press. These old illustrations just add to it. The book is history, however and these are presented as such. If a book is about rats, all I ask for are illustration that look like rats.
The book is a good read. Packed with information, humor and insite, it has a lot to say. The title is very appropriate. With an animal that is as cunning, diverse and adaptable as the Rat, genetic engineering needs to appoach with a bit of caution.
Fascinating,yet repulsive..........2000-01-07
The most inclusive book on this rodent I've ever read.It includes the origin and natural history of the rat,rat behaviour,mans' attempts to eradicate them,rats' links to disease,rat folklore,rats in art and literature,rats in the lab,rats as pets,rat attacks, even recipes for cooked rats(:-P).Don't think I'll be trying any of those.The book has many facts about rats I've seen nowhere else,including this : scientists were able to impregnate a female mus musculus with the semen of a Norway Rat.Attempts to cross rattus norvegicus with rattus rattus have failed. That means that the common house mouse is basically a tiny rat...or that the norway rat is a huge mouse,however you want to look at it.
Of course,all this information in a book of less than 300 pages means the book reads like some rivers out west...a mile wide and only 6 inches deep.Furthermore,Mr. Hendrickson uses neither endnotes or footnotes,so if the reader wants to verify the info by consulting the original sources,s/he is SOL.This is most irritating when one is reading the horrific attacks of rats 'swarming'human victims and eating them alive.Behaviour that unusual in an animal that prefers to avoid people begs for better verification,rats being one of the animals that inspires Urban Legends.(At least one story RH repeats was identified as such by Jan Harold Brunvand;the one where two people check into a hotel room,one leaves,when she returns,the second person has vanished,and no one remembers her ...)The author does include an index and a bibliography.And while I do understand that most people would read this book for the horrific elements, I wish the role of the rat as pet had been covered better.Any rat person will tell you that a rat is friendlier than a cat,smarter than a dog,more trainable than a guinea pig or hamster,and cleaner than any of these other animal companions.For that matter,wild norway rats have been tamed and trained by any number of convicts and POWS and other,lonely people forsaken by their human brethren.
I gave this book 4 stars out of 5 because I reserve 5 stars for one-in-a-million masterpieces.I took off 1/2 a star for the lack of documentation...use endnotes or footnotes, PLEASE!
WARNING:THIS BOOK SHOULD NOT BE PURCHASED BY A PROSPECTIVE RAT OWNER,WITH THE IDEA THAT IF A RECALCITRANT PARENT/SPOUSE/SO READS IT,THEY'LL BECOME ENTHUSIASTIC ABOUT GETTING A RAT! :-)

Good first book.......2004-07-26
I am a new runner... before I started training for a 1/2 marathon, I had only run 4-5 k on a treadmill, which I'd been doing on and off for about 2 years.
To be fair, I don't know a lot about running, and probably any book would be a good book for me. Thomas Miller does seem to have a lot of experience about running, and has certainly trained for and run a lot of marathons and 1/2 marathons. He has analysed running in great detail.
Things this book does well:
1) cover running technique (body part alignment, hands, feet, torso etc...)
2) cover breathing (rhino breathing - quite effective I thought)
3) cover the psychological parts of running (negative self talk and how to beat it - quite effectively too)
Things this book does poorly:
1) cover running equipment, shoes, "kit" (he mentioned a kit, but never says what it is).
2) cover how to create a training schedule (he talks about it a lot, but in a hand-waving way with almost no examples)
3) cover nutrition of any kind
4) cover running injuries, how to prevent them and how to treat them
Like another reviewer, I found that Miller spent too much time talking about his own experiences... that has a place, but Miller goes too far in a lot of places.
Unlike another reviewer, I found that the psychological aspects and mind-body control were useful. If you are a serious runner, and have been running for some time, this might not be useful, I'm not sure. As a beginning running, I find that it's helpful to know what to do when you feel like stopping in the middle of a run. This book worked for me, even if it's only been a short while.
The most complete and practical source on running technique........2003-10-21
All of Miller's techniques and psychological self-talk have helped me run more lightly, smoother, and without injury. I no longer slog and gut my way through runs. I may not be as fast as the elite but I can run almost as efficiently and that helps me enjoy running more. I really like Miller's approach and attitude.
Lots to think about.......2003-04-13
The author through self exploration leads the reader to believe that it truly is mind over matter. I found the book to be well written, although at times a little too centred on the author's experiences. Overall a good read.
A complete guide to running.......2002-06-06
This is a great book with hands-on concepts for anyone that wants to improve their running performance. The chapters on technique are easy to understand and if you practice them, you will see results immediately in your running.
The chapters on mental performance technique are equally good and hard to come by. If you race, you know your mind often falls apart before your body does. Miller gives you many resources to keep focused on running.
I would highly recommend this book for anyone who wants to run faster and smarter!
I will pass.......2002-05-27
I bought two books which were published pretty much the same time - this one and explosive running. in comparison, "explosive running" is solid - technical, thorough and cover whole lot more ground on "running" while this book wastes two fifth of the chapters on those abstract thing on body mind control, performance programming ....

It is what it claims to be...........2005-10-20
If you read the introduction to the book it says knowledge is power. He never promises to give you the answer but he does tell you where to find them. This book is for people who are willing to put the effort into finding the information that's out there. If you need a starting point for beginning your search for funding towards the purchase of a home, this has helpful references of agencies and types of programs available. If you've ever had to deal with government workers then you know you'll get more frustration than help, Lesko gives you the werewithal you need to go after exactly what you need. The book tells you its out there, so when you contact the angecies or personnel, you can go armed with the information and need to find only the specifics.
I borrowed this from my library and want to have a copy of my own to work with. It has lists of agencies through the state and their contact information. By far, it is one of the better reference books I've found for this type of information. The other good source (if you can make sense of it is the Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance) which lists everything, but if you don't know how to use it, it won't be very helpful to you.
Save Your Money.......2005-01-27
I took the bait and bought this book. It's jammed packed with information that can be obtained from most any phone book. The oddest book I've ever bought and I have quite a collection. If you need a big book for a child to sit on or to prop a door open, go ahead. If you're looking for useful information, call your county extension agency or local groups. This one's a waste of paper and ink.
Book Description
One of the most important Italian manuscripts in the Getty Museum, the lavishly illustrated Gualenghi d'Este Hours was created around 1649 on the occasion of the marriage of diplomat Andrea Gualengo to Orsina d'Este, a member of Ferrara's ruling family. The devotional manuscript featured
brilliant figured decoration of the suffrages--short prayers to saints--and was created by Taddeo Crivelli, one of the most important manuscript illuminators of the Renaissance.
This volume includes reproductions of all the illuminations in the original manuscript plus selected text pages, each with commentary. Kurt Barstow examines the book's vivid devotional imagery in relation to works of art of the period that help explain the Hours significance for the
fifteenth-century patrons. This beautifully illustrated book is published to coincide with an exhibit featuring the manuscript that will take place at the Getty Museum from May 9 to July 30, 2000.
Customer Reviews:
A Wonderful Work.......2003-11-18
This is a wonderful book that blends the visual and historical elements of illuminated manuscripts in a highly accessible way. The realm of scholarship involving Renaissance illuminated manuscripts is one typically reserved for those few who have the extensive academic background often assumed necessary to appreciate this form. Barstow's book opens wide the door to a much broader audience of interested lay people and invites them in. He is a wonderful host in addition to being an exceptional art historian. He offers a combintation of qualities often lacking from such scholarship, but Barstow is not a typical scholar. This book will be a treasure to anyone with the interest and the foresight to purchase it.
