This book reviews the new concepts proposed by  the diverse theories of evolution, self-organisation, general systems,  cybernetics, and the `complex adaptive systems' approach pioneered by  the Santa Fe institute. The thread which holds everything together is  the growth of complexity during the history of the universe: from  elementary particles, via atoms, molecules, living cells,  multicellular organisms, plants, and animals to human beings, and  societies. The different sections of the book discuss the foundations  and philosophy of complexity evolution, its mathematical and computer  models, its explanation of self-organising and living systems, the  insights it provides into the origin of mind, language and culture,  and its practical applications in areas such as management and system  design.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 1999-08-31\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9780792357643\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 234cm x156cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 374\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Netherlands","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46541727170700,"sku":"9780792357643","price":152.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9780792357643","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
