Complexity: Metaphors, Models, and Reality
Editorial Reviews
Book Description
A classic overview of the science of complexity from the prestigious Santa Fe Institute.
There has been a remarkable growth in collaborative academic research focused on complexity in recent years. One of the greatest challenges is to discover which features are essential and which shared by all the seemingly disparate systems that are described as complex. This book describes current views on this subject held by various eminent scholars associated with the Santa Fe Institute, including Murray Gell-Mann, Brian Arthur, Stuart Kauffman, John Holland, and Kenneth Arrow.
