Hierarchy In Natural And Social Sciences
Reviews ancient and modern representations and explanations of hierarchies, and compares their relevance in fields, such as language, societies, cities, and living species. This book throws light on concepts and models such as scaling laws, fractals and self-organisation that are fundamental in the dynamics and morphology of complex systems.
