What enables individually simple insects like ants to act with such precision and purpose as a group? How do trillions of neurons produce something as extraordinarily complex as consciousness? In this remarkably clear and companionable book, leading complex systems scientist Melanie Mitchell provides an intimate tour of the sciences of complexity, a broad set of efforts that seek to explain how large-scale complex, organized, and adaptive behavior can emerge from simple interactions among myriad individuals. Based on her work at the Santa Fe Institute and drawing on its interdisciplinary strategies, Mitchell brings clarity to the workings of complexity across a broad range of biological, technological, and social phenomena, seeking out the general principles or laws that apply to all of them. Richly illustrated, Complexity: A Guided Tour-winner of the 2010 Phi Beta Kappa Book Award in Science-offers a wide-ranging overview of the ideas underlying complex systems science, the current research at the forefront of this field, and the prospects for its contribution to solving some of the most important scientific questions of our time.

Conceptual overview
评分Complexity is not well-defined. It's perspectives. It's waiting for someone who can look through these perspectives in a more profound way to integrate them into a new understanding of the world, just like Newton did with calculus.
评分内容挺广泛的,介绍了复杂性存在的各种领域,生物、计算机、网络科学等等。有一点不满意的地方是作者刻意追求科普性,书中很多能够用简单公式描述的地方都被描述性语言代替了。的确,这样不会冒着用公式吓退读者的危险,但是作者也体会不到数学的简洁性了。
