I've decided to write a book.
Well parts of it are already drafted
as notes for classes that I teach.
The book will be co-authored w/ a colleague.
We haven't decided a title yet.
But I have begun to consider this:
- concept & purpose : this will form the main text for my course How Nature Works (HNW), an 8-week introduction of basic system principles, one of a triad of introductory courses on systems, life & Gaia; this book will also integrate the triad & serve as a gateway to advanced courses;
- media : online, printed, DVD;
- organization : integrated topics organized into linked chapters & sections;
- topics : thorough introductory-level treatments all components addressed in HNW - including science, models, chaos, fractals, power laws, cellular automata, energy flow & gradients (NET), emergence, autopoiesis, symbiogenesis & Gaia - w/ segue overviews into principles addressed in all other courses.
