One good book that I'd recommend is TURBULENT MIRROR by John Briggs
and F. David Peat. It's subtitle is "An Illustrated Guide to Chaos
Theory and the Science of Wholeness". It deals with the mathematics
of "chaos," turbulence, non-linear dynamics, etc. The ideas are
introduced with a philosophical approach. It offers many new key
ideas that I'd suggest would enhance one's theosophical studies.
