Remarkably, common themes persist that predict the evolution of species as readily as the orbits of planets or the collapse of stars into black holes. This book tells the history of spaces of expanding dimension and increasing abstraction and how they continue today to give new insight into the physics of complex systems.-- Back jacket cover. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references (pages 319-326) and index. 505 0 $a 1.
