Three authors with UNT connections use mathematical models to challenge "either/or" thinking in favor of "both/and" thinking.

Paolo Grigolini, professor of physics and director of UNT's Center for Nonlinear Science, says science can expand beyond many disciplines.

"Critical thinking that seems to belong to physics, the origin of cognition that seems to belong to psychology, and the social organization that seems to belong to political science and sociology are actually the key words of a single challenging issue that is not yet settled," he says.

The other writers are Korosh Mahmoodi ('14 M.S., '18 Ph.D.) and Bruce J. West, former head of UNT's Department of Physics and now a senior scientist at the Army Research Office. Rohhisha Tuladhar ('19 Ph.D.) also contributed to the book.
