I don't know if there are somewhere: Sync: The Emerging Science of Spontaneous Order by Steven Strogatz. 2003
John Maynard Smith, Eors Szathmary. The Major Transitions in Evolution. OUP. 1995 Humberto Maturana and Francisco Varela. The Tree of Knowledge: The Biological Roots of Human Understanding. Shambhala. 1987-1998 The Selfish Gene is also important, but Francis has it. I would recommend Turchin's book, which is online http://pespmc1.vub.ac.be/POSBOOK.html Don't ask, but somehow I was offered a free copy of Wolfram's book "A New Kind of Science", so if anyone is interested, they can take a look. Also, if someone has rats, they can use it to smash them... (it's ~3Kg) > 125 pounds, if spent wisely, should cover 3-4 books. So, please > everybody, check through your bibliographies specifically for > Cambridge books that you would like to us to have, or search the > publisher's website (http://www.cambridge.org) using keywords that > seem interesting (e.g. evolution, complexity, cognition...). I would strongly advocate for What is Life? : With Mind and Matter and Autobiographical Sketches (Canto) by Erwin Schrodinger, Roger Penrose http://titles.cambridge.org/catalogue.asp?isbn=0521427088 Only 12 GBP Best regards, Carlos Gershenson...
