One way to achieve this understanding is through the development of a new kind of science, one that is not explicitly dependent on the traditional disciplines of biology, economics, physics, sociology and so on; a science of networks. This text reviews, in non-mathematical language, what we know about the development of science in the twenty-first century and how that knowledge influences our world. In addition, it distinguishes the two-tiered science of the twentieth century, basedStudies of nonlinear phenomena in life sciences ;v. 13.System analysisScienceData processingSystem analysis.ScienceData processing.500West Bruce J48667Scafetta NicolaautMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910820442203321Disrupted networks3941220UNINA
