Disjointed
This book is typical of those authors that provide a lot of fact and detail, but do not tie anything together. Other than saying that I read a book about "Chaos theory", it was of little value or entertainment.

Insightful but tedious
Chaos: Making a New Science is intrinsically a bunch of short essays based on the author's research into a number of Chaos experiments and the scientists performing them. One after another with nothing tying them into some sort of progression or main point. Still, many of the stories were very interesting and thought provoking. Some even included insightful tidbits about the inspirations or influences that guided the scientists. But overall it was a tedious read with no real conclusion other than this theory can mathematically describe many seemingly random events.

Tough Going
Unlike the reviewers above, I found the book to be a bit tough going at times. In addition, the focus on the personalities involved I found to be distracting. The math/science is good, the story somewhat less so.

Excellent Coverage
The story of chaos is unwoven in this book in an interesting manner with few equations so the average reader can understand and comprehend the emergence of this science.

A popular introduction to a complex topic
A very good history of fractal dynamics, its origins and applications for the layman from its origins in skewed data during meteorological printouts at MIT to modern day applications and how seemingly irrational phenomena can be explained..
