Review

`A much-needed reference on autopoiesis...I enjoyed reading the book as it took me stage by stage through a clear and easy-to-grasp understanding of the concepts and ideas of autopoiesis...on through their applications....an exceptional text.'

5.0 out of 5 stars praise for john mingers!, November 5, 1999

(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Self-Producing Systems: Implications and Applications of Autopoiesis (Contemporary Systems Thinking) (Hardcover)
What a great book! The text is always very concise, readable , without loosing any depth. Systems Theory is a field which interests me; I've reading dozens of books about cybernetics, pragmatics of human communication, Theory of Information, Theory of Communication, Chaos Theory, Autopoiesis, etc. This is probably one of the best. Shame its not available anymore!
