New Book

[Jochen Fromm]

My new interdisciplinary book about evolution,
complexity and multi-agent systems is finally
published:

The Emergence of Complexity
Jochen Fromm
Kassel University Press, 2004
ISBN 3-89958-069-9
200 Pages
http://www.upress.uni-kassel.de/abstracts/3-89958-069-9.html

Short Abstract
This book considers the question how complex systems suddenly emerge
during the course of evolution and why the long-winded evolution of
systems and species is interspersed with short phases of fast revolutions.
Based on an agent based view of complex systems, it describes how systems
become more and more complex, well illustrated with many examples for the
emergence of complexity. From ancient cultures to modern states and from
the earliest primitive organisms to self-conscious human beings, the text
explores the widest range of phenomena with the fewest possible principles.

It is only available in English. The PDF-file in English is free available

If you want to purchase a copy in the USA or from outside Europe, then
you eventually have to contact me off-list, and I will try to send you a
copy.
I guess the interest will be limited, and as long as the number of potential
buyers is low, I can handle it myself. The publisher seems to have
difficulties
to sell and ship it oversea.
