About this Item

Idioma/Language: Inglés. Foundational papers in complexity science presents the first unified charting of the full territory of complexity science - an essential resource for navigating the modern world. This project maps the development of complex-systems science through eighty-nine revolutionary works originally published between 1922 and 2000. Curated by SFI President David C. Krakauer, each seminal paper is introduced and placed into its historical context, with enduring insights discussed by leading contemporary complexity scientists. These four volumes are a product of collective intelligence. More than a compilation, Foundational Papers represents large-scale collaboration within the SFI community - brilliant thinkers who have contextualized the work that shaped their own research, resulting in a sparkling demonstration of how complexity shatters the usual scientific divisions and a look back at the path we've followed in order to gain a clearer view of what lies ahead. Volume 2 examines the utopian-dystopian years from 1962 to 1973: a decade of global instability, social revolution, space exploration, and growing ecological awareness. Complexity science challenges our understanding of prediction, control, and uncertainty. *** Nota: Los envíos a España peninsular, Baleares y Canarias se realizan a través de mensajería urgente.

Synopsis

Foundational Papers in Complexity Science maps the emergence of complex-systems science over the last century. This four-volume set unites, for the first time, dozens of articles published in a variety of academic journals in a timely reminder that complexity knows no disciplinary boundaries.

Edited and curated by Santa Fe Institute President David Krakauer, this comprehensive collection of papers aims to help readers understand the history, current state, and future of complexity science. More than a compilation, Foundational Papers reflects large-scale collaboration within the SFI community, as contemporary researchers introduce and contextualize the work that shaped their own. In the process, they reveal how complexity shatters the usual scientific divisions. Join the Santa Fe Institute in a look back at the path complexity science has followed, as we move toward a clearer view of what lies ahead.
