Studying the movements of these communities, he has realized, proves an illuminating way into understanding complex systems of all kinds-collections of everything from atoms and planets to other animals like ourselves. Along the way, he reflects on the lessons he's taken from a life in pursuit of scientific truth: the importance of serendipity to the discovery of new ideas, the surprising kinship between physics and other disciplines, and the value of science to a thriving society. In so doing, he removes the practice of science from the confines of the laboratory and into the real world. Part elegant scientific treatise, part thrilling journey of discovery, In a Flight of Starlings is an invitation to find wonder in the world around us"--cProvided by publisher.  aText in English, translated from the Italian 0aPhysicsxPhilosophyvPopular works. 4aFísica xFilosofía923579 4aFilosofía de la física 9357861 aParisi, Anna, d1961- c(Writer on science),econtributor.9357881 aCarnell, Simon, d1962- etranslator93403408iOnline version:aParisi, Giorgio.tIn a flight of starlingsdNew York : Penguin Press, 2023z9780593493168w(DLC) 2022057559  a7bcbccorignewd1eecipf20gy-gencatlg  2lcccBK  c121217d121217  00102lcc40708HUaBJBbBJBcHUd2024-05-02l0oQC 6 P234i 2023p00000177471r2024-05-02 00:00:00t1w2024-05-02yBK
