Hierarchy Theory

Editorial Reviews
Book Description
Hierarchy theory, rooted in the work of economist Herbert Simon, chemist Ilya Prigogine, and child psychologist Jean Piaget, offers a revolutionary new scientific approach to questions about complexity in nature. A series of straightforward cases from the world around us, accompanied by more than eighty illustrations, help define the fundamental principles of hierarchy theory, such as filters, surfaces, stability, nesting, and the integration of disturbances into systems.
