Synchrony is a science in its infancy, and Strogatz is a pioneer in this new frontier in which mathematicians and physicists attempt to pinpoint just how spontaneous order emerges from chaos. Engagingly written for readers of books such as "Chaos" and "The Elegant Universe, Sync" is a tour-de-force of nonfiction writing.
