Sometimes a cover says a lot

Like this one:

The back cover is even more confusing. It caught my eye at work today, and I turned it this way and that several times before my poor brain registered that the text was oriented more than one way.

I haven't read it, but now I want to.

It's called The Collapse of Chaos, and it's by Jack Cohen and Ian Stewart.

Apparently it's a science book, about the origins of complexity and simplicity. Science isn't my forte, but a cover like this says 'I have a sense of humour and I'm accessible'. The Terry Pratchett endorsement doesn't hurt either.
