Do you mean Bedau and *Humphreys*? Also, I hope you read my paper, "The reductionist blind spot <http://philsci-archive.pitt.edu/archive/00004540/>." As I said I've solved the problem of emergence. It's no longer the mystery Bedau and Humphreys make it out to be. Consequently the papers in their book are fairly obsolete. Of course you will make up your own minds about that. But at least give yourself the chance to reach that conclusion.
