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, based 410 0$aStudies of nonlinear phenomena in life sciences ;$vv. 13. 606 $aSystem analysis 606 $aScience$xData processing 615 0$aSystem analysis. 615 0$aScience$xData processing. 676 $a500 700 $aWest$b Bruce J$048667 702 $aScafetta$b Nicola$4aut 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910820442203321 996 $aDisrupted networks$93941220 997 $aUNINA
