A Very Short Introduction

Complexity

Safiya 

I wouldn't recommend this for someone who wants an approachable way to learn more about complexity science. I mean just it's name might be a hindrance your curiosity let alone this text.

It is definitely informative, but you can only read on if you have an assignment or as in my case an honest review to write.
Yes there were many helpful classifications that has helped memorize some definitions and cluster, but this is not the best book I read that aims at explaining these theories : I would recommend Scott E. Page (he has a nice blog), and his co-author Miller...

I have one author that I haven't read yet and that's Pr. Melanie Mitchell!

In short, this book is a lovely review if you are already acquainted with the topic, and honestly that's far from an introduction... Sorry
