This book title, Sync (The Emerging Science of Spontaneous Order), ISBN: 9780786868445, by Steven Strogatz, published by Hachette Books (March 5, 2003) is available in hardcover. Engagingly written for readers of books such as Chaos and The Elegant Universe, Sync is a tour-de-force of nonfiction writing. From underground caves in Texas where a French scientist spent six months alone tracking his sleep-wake cycle, to the home of a Dutch physicist who in 1665 discovered two of his pendulum clocks swinging in perfect time, this fascinating book spans disciplines, continents, and centuries.

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. While the forces that synchronize the flashing of fireflies may seem to have nothing to do with our heart cells, there is in fact a deep connection. Along the tidal rivers of Malaysia, thousands of fireflies congregate and flash in unison the moon spins in perfect resonance with its orbit around the earth our hearts depend on the synchronous firing of ten thousand pacemaker cells.
