Riguardo questo articolo

From the back cover: " Complex behavior can occur in any system made up of large numbers of interacting constituents, be they atoms in a solid, cells in a living organism, or consumers in a national economy. Analysis of the behavior often involves making important assumptions and approximations, the exact nature of which vary from subject to subject. Foundations of Complex-system Theories analyses, for the first time, the key concepts and general methods used in studying complexity in the physical, biological, and social sciences. .".
