Esta obra introduce al lector en un campo de la investigacion que se halla en continua expansion. La existencia del caos determinista, la aparicion de objetos fractales en la naturaleza o nuestra incapacidad de predecir el futuro, pese a disponer de modelos deterministas, se exponen de forma coherente y a un alto nivel. Asimismo, se analizan con profundidad, mediante diversas aproximaciones teoricas, la aparicion de la complejidad y su cuantificacion, asi como sus implicaciones en campos tan dispares como la evolucion y las extinciones, la dinamica de selvas o de virus emergentes
