This review is from: Heinz Von Foerster 1911-2002 (Cybernetics & Human Knowing) (Cybernetics & Human Knowing: A Journal of Second-Order Cybernetics Auto Poiesis) (Paperback)
Intereting articles about von Foerster and his ideas. Nicely put together with varied interests. Well worth reading if one is intersted in complex systems.
