Is Future Given?
| by Ilya Prigogine World Scientific Publishing Co., Singapore, November 2003 160 pages ISBN: 981-238-507-X Order this book online from World Scientific In this book, after discussing the fundamental problems of current science and other philosophic concepts, beginning with controversies between Heraclitus and Parmenides, Ilya Prigogine launches into a message of great hope: the future has not been determined.
The Transition to Chaos | In Conservative Classical Systems: Quantum Manifestations by L.E. Reichl Springer-Verlag, New York, 1992 Hardcover--551 pp. ISBN: 0387977538 Order this book online from Fatbrain.com The book on chaos that is becoming a modern classic. A perfect introduction to the fundamental concepts of chaos, including perturbation theory, nonlinear resonances, and nonintegrable systems. The reader will learn about basic mapping techniques and stochasticity. The quantum section includes a detailed introduction to Floquet theory and the delta-kicked rotor.
Classical Relativistic Many-Body Dynamics | by Matthew A. Trump and W. C. Schieve Kluwer Academic Publishers, Dordrecht, The Netherlands, 1999 Hardcover--365 pp. 92 illustrations ISBN: 079235737X Order this book online from Amazon.com
The first book that explains in detail the world-time theory of motion for
relativistic particles with mutual interaction. Learn how field theory is
essentially limited to one-body motion, and how a 1941 classical model of
pair annihilation may at last allow the dynamical description of systems of two or
more particles. Several experimental tests are suggested.
This book is chock-full of new research opportunities for
graduate students and researchers into relativity.

Dr. Prigogine is world-renowned not only for his contributions to physical
science, but also for his ability to explain complex ideas in terms that
anyone can understand. This acclaimed book, written for readers of all ability
levels and backgrounds, is a superb introduction to the meaning and
implications
of chaos and irreversiblity in the natural world, including the question of
our perception of time.
