Book Reviews of Complexity: The Emerging Science at the Edge of Order and Chaos

Book Review: How the Santa Fe Institute began
Summary: 4 Stars

This is a history of the Santa Fe institute, covering all the leading players and concentrating not only on the theories, but also the different personalities that must have made the early SFI a fascinating place to be. It's reasonably easy to read even for a non-scientist (like myself) and I'd recommend it
