    par Juval Portugali ...
    Collections series Engineering (R0)
    Complexity, Cognition and the City aims at a deeper understanding of urbanism, while invoking, on an equal footing, the contributions both the hard and soft sciences have made, and are still making, when grappling with the many issues and facets of regional planning and dynamics. In this work, the author goes beyond merely seeing the city as a self-organized, emerging pattern of some collective ... En savoir plus

  • Information Adaptation: The Interplay Between Shannon Information and Semantic Information in Cognition

    par Hermann Haken, Juval Portugali ...
    Collections series Engineering (R0)
    This monograph demonstrates the interplay between Shannon information and semantic information in cognition. It shows that Shannon’s information acts as driving force for the formation of semantic information; and vice versa, namely, that semantic information participates in the formation of Shannonian information. The authors show that in cognition, Shannonian and semantic information are ... En savoir plus

    The book offers a novel approach to the study of the complex dynamics of cities. It is based on (1) Synergetics as a science of cooperation and selforganization, (2) information theory including semantic and pragmatic aspects, and optimization principles, (3) a theory of steady state maintenance, and of (4) phase transition, i.e. qualitative changes of structure or behavior.From this novel ...

    Modifié par Juval Portugali, Han Meyer, Egbert Stolk, Ekim Tan ...

  • Welcome to the Urban Revolution

    How Cities Are Changing The World

    par Jeb Brugmann ...
    In Welcome to the Urban Revolution, internationally recognized urbanist Jeb Brugmann turns traditional thinking about globalization on its head to show that the city isn't a backdrop to global change; it is a central driver of change—political, economic, social, and environmental. This powerful reappraisal of the global role of cities brilliantly synthesizes urban studies, economics, and sociology ... En savoir plus

    Why Growth is Slow but Collapse is Rapid

    par Ugo Bardi ...
    Collections series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    The essence of this book can be found in a line written by the ancient Roman Stoic Philosopher Lucius Annaeus Seneca: "Fortune is of sluggish growth, but ruin is rapid". This sentence summarizes the features of the phenomenon that we call "collapse," which is typically sudden and often unexpected, like the proverbial "house of cards." But why are such collapses so common, and what generates them? ... En savoir plus

    A New View of Science, Reason, and Religion

    par Stuart A Kauffman ...
    Consider the woven integrated complexity of a living cell after 3.8 billion years of evolution.

As the eminent complexity theorist Stuart Kauffman explains in this ambitious and groundbreaking new book, people who do not believe in God have ... En savoir plus
