{"product_id":"chaos-theory-christopher-buckley-9781941196533","title":"Chaos Theory","description":"\u003cp\u003e'3.3 billion years ago we caught a break . . .' So states the first line of Christopher Buckley's new poetry collection \u003cem\u003eChaos Theory\u003c\/em\u003e, setting the tone of casual erudition, an atomic fusion of the personal and the cosmic. The book's theme is a perennial one: \u003cem\u003eChaos Theory\u003c\/em\u003e is really about finding the underlying order in apparently random data. True to his word, Buckley gives us \"Shimmy Shimmy Ko-Ko Bop\" by Little Anthony \u0026amp; The Imperials: - '... particles; the cathedral of the atom, and Gunsmoke, The Whistler, Mr. \u0026amp; Mrs. North-- \/ zooming past \/ the cosmic street lamps, ' bids us make the connections along with him. It's a startling, deliriously pleasurable enterprise, poem by poem. As we reach the end of our cosmic journey through \u003cem\u003eChaos Theory\u003c\/em\u003e, we feel like one of the imagined aliens huddled at last around Voyager's Golden Records on some distant planet, understanding dawning in her eye or ear, as an x-ray of a human hand and snowflakes over Sequoia appear on a hologram, followed by a recording of the greeting \"May all be well\" in Ancient Sumerian and the brainwaves of Ann Druyan considering human violence and poverty and falling in love.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Christopher Buckley\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1941196535\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781941196533\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Madhat, Inc.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/02\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 122\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.42lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.29d","brand":"Christopher Buckley","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43937719320831,"sku":"9781941196533","price":21.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_5fcb65b7-f4d4-49d5-998d-9ef110fe0de7.jpg?v=1681431624","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/chaos-theory-christopher-buckley-9781941196533","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
