encyclopedia entry on complex systems

[Phil Henshaw-4]

Hi, hope all are having a good holiday.   

 

I’d appreciate any comment on my condensed encyclopedia entry on the history and issues of complex systems science for the Encyclopedia of the Earth.     The initial review comment was that “I think it is a nice piece, and appropriate in terms of language, balance, and reading level for the EoE”.       Are there basics I’m missing, or better turns of phrase I might use?    

 

If you’re not familiar with EoE, it’s a venture of the National Council for Science and the Environment with Boston University, and fairly good at presenting the hard science of global issues for a general educated audience.

 All the best,
