"How does a bird flock keep its movements so graceful and synchronized? Bird flocks don't have leaders: they are organized without an organizer, coordinated without a coordinator. And a surprising number of other systems, from termite colonies to traffic jams to economic systems, work the same decentralized way. TURTLES, TERMITES, AND TRAFFIC JAMS describes innovative new computational tools that can help people explore the workings of such systems-and help them move beyond the centralized mindset. Resnick gives his students and readers a taste of a new and powerful way of thinking, in which the whole is more than just the sum of its parts. "
