Has anyone had a chance to look inside?

Peter Erdi was my complex systems professor at Kalamazoo College in  
Michigan where I completed my undergraduate degree. This program has  
the distinction of being (at the time at least) the only complex  
systems program taught at the undergraduate level.  I've just bought  
the book.  I can't wait to read what he has to say.

Dear Jen,

thanks for the feedback, maybe when you have got first impressions from
the book you could share them?

I would especially be interested if he also presents new research and
how the didactic value of the book is (to adopt it for a CS course, say)

Regards,
G?nther
