- Exploring Complexity by Melanie Mitchell. Stay tuned for posts that summarize interesting papers, give my own perspectives on developments in complex systems research, and respond to readers comments, questions, and suggestions for topics to discuss here. I will try to put up new posts on a monthly (or so) basis, and I welcome your feedback.
- Cassandra's legacy by Ugo Bardi. Cassandra tried, in vain, to warn her fellow Trojan citizens about the dangers ahead. They didn't listen, as we know, but she was right. Today, we still prefer a reassuring lie to an uncomfortable truth. It is the Cassandra legacy. Ugo Bardi's latest book is The Limits to Growth Revisited.
