Deep Simplicity: Bringing Order to Chaos and ComplexityOver the past two decades, no field of scientific inquiry has had a more striking impact across a wide array of disciplines from biology to physics, computing to meteorology than that known as chaos and complexity, the study of complex systems.

Over the past two decades, no field of scientific inquiry has had a more striking impact across a wide array of disciplines-from biology to physics, computing to meteorology-than that known as chaos and complexity, the study of complex systems. Now astrophysicist John Gribbin draws on his expertise to explore, in prose that communicates not only the wonder but the substance of cutting-edge science, the principles behind chaos and complexity. He reveals the remarkable ways these two revolutionary theories have been applied over the last twenty years to explain all sorts of phenomena-from weather patterns to mass extinctions. Grounding these paradigm-shifting ideas in their historical context, Gribbin also traces their development from Newton to Darwin to Lorenz, Prigogine, and Lovelock, demonstrating how-far from overturning all that has gone before-chaos and complexity are the triumphant extensions of simple scientific laws. Ultimately, Gribbin illustrates how chaos and complexity permeate the universe on every scale, governing the evolution of life and galaxies alike.Binding Type: Hardcover

My go to for support and encouragement (for myself and others)
Format: Hardcover
In this season of life (specifically with littles) it is hard to form the words, find the space, and have the energy to pray. I have found myself borrowing the words of others who so beautifully articulate how I am thinking and feeling (specifically Kayla and this book!).
This book has also been a go-to when looking for encouragement for other moms as well. I appreciate the specific prayers and liturgies for big events we all go through (first day of pre school for example) and have sent prayers to other mamas as a way to comfort, encourage, and let them know they aren't alone. Thank you Kayla for your Spirit led words that I can borrow and meditate on and use to help shine light in this world. You are a gift!

Works Like A Charm
Color: Brushed Nickel
Functions as advertised! Sturdy. Stays in place when removing towels. Allows one towel to easily tear from the holder instead of several. Holds large roll. Didn’t have to put anything together. Looks great. Best paper towel holder we’ve owned.

Good quality!
Color: Warm Gold
Love this, very sturdy and good weight to it. It definitely grips our paper towels well! For reference, we buy the Kirkland/Costco brand and it fits very comfortably.
