Biologists have long dismissed mathematics as being unable to meaningfully contribute to our understanding of living beings. Within the past ten years, however, mathematicians have proven that they hold the key to unlocking the mysteries of our world -- and ourselves. In The Mathematics of Life, Ian Stewart provides a fascinating overview of the vital but little-recognized role mathematics has played in pulling back the curtain on the hidden complexities of the natural world -- and how its contribution will be even more vital in the years ahead. In his characteristically clear and entertaining fashion, Stewart explains how mathematicians and biologists have come to work together on some of the most difficult scientific problems that the human race has ever tackled, including the nature and origin of life itself.

‘Draws on ingenious insights and lessons from nature to emphasize the importance of imbibing, developing, listening to and trusting your intuition – increasingly becoming a differentiator in senior circles – to develop the confidence to take that leap of faith which every risk-bearing decision entails’ – Ratan Tata Managers can become like stunted plants. The absence of intuition – or its inadequate use – has the effect of constricting a manager. The Case of the Bonsai Manager is the perfect antidote for every manager who feels they are not achieving their full potential. Effective leadership is not just about hard facts but also about listening to, and using, your intuition. Using anecdotes from nature and the world of management, R. Gopalakrishnan explores how you can be more intuitive, inclusive and humane. The revised and updated edition of this best-selling book, with its easy-to-read anecdotal style, has additional material to reinforce the key messages, including a new self-help workbook. ‘Exceptional . . . R. Gopalakrishnan is a formidable writer and manager’ – Economic Times ‘One of the most refreshing and useful books on management that I have read in many years’ – Business Today
