Publishers Description: Catastrophe theory is a new way of looking at sudden change, whether in physics, economics, biology or sociology. Using a series of three-dimensional graphs - catastrophes - the theory makes measurable such abstract qualities as fear, anger, love and hate. This book, written in non-technical language, and with numerous examples and illustrations, explains Catastrophe Theory to the general reader, explores the controversy surrounding it and gives fascinating examples of how it can be used.It could change the whole way we perceive the world.
