Complex Systems: Chaos and Beyond ... - Google Book Search

I've been surprised in the increased number of textbook level  
complexity books recently, going beyond the popular books into fairly  
serious formal systems.

This one looks like an interesting example of such a book:
   http://books.google.com/books?id=7lcINfgupggC

Two questions:
- Has anyone read or looked at this one yet?
- Have you seen any interesting recent textbooks on complexity?  
Here's an example I'm familiar with and like:
Modeling Complex Systems By Nino Boccara
   http://books.google.com/books?id=dUxnlP7KYQ4C

I'd be interested in books of this level others of us have found.

One interest in all this I have is that we often go on about "what is  
complexity" and similar themes, and I have a hunch that the new crop  
of textbooks may just have enough formalism to let us be more  
precise.  I hope!
