Catch up on bestsellers now out in paperback, starting with the Goodstein’s Feynman’s Lost Lecture (Vintage, £6.99, ISBN 0 09 973621 7), the reconstruction of a piece of work thought long lost. And for the tale of a search for order in a chaotic world, try Peter Coveney and Roger Highfield’s Frontiers of Complexity (Faber and Faber, £9.99, ISBN 0 571 17922 3), much liked by our hardback reviewer, who described it as remaining “sober at intoxicating altitudes”.
