Publisher's Synopsis
'If evidence were needed that [complexity] really is more than chaos in a teacup, then Peter Coveney and Roger Highfield provide it in abundance. They stake out its claims in a remarkable profusion of areas, covering artificial life, neural networks, robotics, evolutionary game theory, computer genetics and even the chemistry of concrete. This is by far and away the most comprehensive, accurate and lively introduction to the subject, and a fertile source for those who want to dig deeper.' New Statesman
