- catalog abstract "This text locates the chaos theory within sociology and other social sciences. It examines: the emerging myths and theories surrounding the study of chaos and complexity; methodological matters including tools from "postmodern science"; and conceptual models and applications. The authors of this volume provide a timely collection of articles which examine the emerging myths and theories surrounding the study of chaos and complexity. In the second part methodological matters are considered. Finally, conceptual models and applications are presented. This perceptive and thorough volume will be useful to sociologists and others interested in chaos and complexity theory.".
