商品簡介
In this book, author Dan Bruiger presents readers with a critical examination of mathematical modeling and its employment in shaping and limiting the scientific approach to the natural world. He questions determinism, equilibrium, the isolated system, and reversibility while arguing that nature must transcend human representations of it if it is to remain real and resistant to mechanistic understanding by humans. The author blends popular science writing with philosophy and aims his work at environmentalists, students, and other readers. The author is and independent scholar, writer, and amateur astronomer.
