En un vuelo de estorninos

Experimental realities that seem to escape known laws, investigations whose results surprise even those who conduct them, flashes of physical and mathematical intuition: this is the world that Giorgio Parisi has examined for more than fifty years. In a Flight of Starlings is a journey into the extraordinary mind of the physicist since he entered the Institute of Physics in Rome in 1966, going through his first approach to the Nobel Prize at the age of twenty-five, his pioneering studies on particles and his interest in complex systems. -since, for him, the simple ones were not interesting enough-, culminating in his reflections on the origin of ideas and the role of science in today's society.
