Riassunto:

"Exploring Complexity" surveys the wide range of complex phenomena arising in the framework of physico-chemical and biological systems and in the global environment. The book defines the elements of a new scientific vocabulary - the vocabulary of complexity - and elaborates the tools for analyzing these problems efficiently. It breaks disciplinary barriers to consider issues beyond the realm of traditional physical science, including the dynamics of climatic change and the behaviour of social insects and human populations.
