For one thing, the theories of complexity and self-organization originated in the “hard” science and by reference to natural phenomena in physics and bi- ogy. The study of artifacts, per contra, has traditionally been the business of the “soft” disciplines in the humanities and social sciences.

It is organized into five coherent parts. … the book as a whole a unique reference source. In summary, Portugali’s book can be valuable for researchers who deal with the modeling ... Read more
