Chaos theory in ecology
Lord Robert May shows us how far one simple mathematical equation can generate chaos
Lord Robert May, former scientific adviser to the British government, shows how far one simple mathematical equation can generate chaos. Doctor and novelist Abraham Verghese argues that we risk losing much more than the human touch if we rely too much on the hi-tech world of modern medicine and financial analyst Gillian Tett locates risk in money markets in human behaviour.
Presented by Bridget Kendall.
Do you think political or business leaders need to be charismatic? Or do you prefer highly competent but somewhat stern people?
