Hi Merle.  No need for annotations other than the titles/authors of  
the ones you really liked, unless you have time to comment on them.  
I would be interested in those you feel capture a topic well,  
especially if not in Your Basic Textbook On Mumble Science.  I.e.  
things that are not in a single discipline.

I'm reading the recent Scott Page & John Miller book, and one of  
their Themes is a nice on: Complexity often falls In Between  
disciplines.  So within the summer school we are getting:
   - Computer Science and Statistical Mechanics
   - Finance and Dynamics
   - Sociology and Game Theory
   - Ecology and Graph Theory
   - Data Mining and Topology
.. kinda interesting.

The school site is open, I think:

The readings are quite good and getting more added to each day.  The  
use of a wiki has been a considerable win.
