Salud y no enfermedad. Transiciones hacia la complejidad
Pensar la salud es una tarea que jamás se ha emprendido en Occidente. Hasta la fecha, la preocupación fue siempre negativa, así: el rechazo de la enfermedad, la superación de la pobreza y otras expresiones semejantes. Es posible decirlo en términos fuertes y directos: el llamado a la salud coincide con un auténtico giro civilizatorio. Mientras que Occidente siempre supo solo de la enfermedad y cómo vencerla, asistimos a los albores de una nueva civilización que se enfoca en otros aspectos nunca antes considerados. Por eso, hay un modo idóneo mediante el cual es posible pensar la salud; que es equivalente a pensar en la vida. Se trata de las ciencias de la complejidad. En este libro nos proponemos pensar la salud y complejidad, o lo que es equivalente, salud como un fenómeno complejo. Ahora bien, las ciencias de la complejidad constituyen ciencia de frontera (spearhead science). Aunque han ganado espacios en diferentes latitudes, la verdad es que están lejos de ser ciencia normal. En consecuencia, se hace necesario un doble trabajo: introducir un pensamiento de salud –y vida– tanto como elaborar una propedéutica para la complejidad.
Handbook of Systems and Complexity in Health
This book is an introduction to health care as a complex adaptive system, a system that feeds back on itself. The first section introduces systems and complexity theory from a science, historical, epistemological, and technical perspective, describing the principles and mathematics. Subsequent sections build on the health applications of systems science theory, from human physiology to medical decision making, population health and health services research. The aim of the book is to introduce and expand on important population health issues from a systems and complexity perspective, highlight current research developments and their implications for health care delivery, consider their ethical implications, and to suggest directions for and potential pitfalls in the future.

Catharine Macaulay's Republican Enlightenment
The ‘celebrated’ Catharine Macaulay was both lauded and execrated during the eighteenth century for her republican politics and her unconventional, second marriage. This comprehensive biography in the 'life and letters' tradition situates her works in their political and social contexts and offers an unprecedented, detailed account of the content and influence of her writing, the arguments she developed in her eight-volume history of England and her other political, ethical, and educational works. Her disagreements with conservative opponents, David Hume, Edmund Burke, and Samuel Johnson are developed in detail, as is her influence on more progressive admirers such as Thomas Jefferson, J...
Complexity Explained
This book explains why complex systems research is important in understanding the structure, function and dynamics of complex natural and social phenomena. It illuminates how complex collective behavior emerges from the parts of a system, due to the interaction between the system and its environment. Readers will learn the basic concepts and methods of complex system research. The book is not highly technical mathematically, but teaches and uses the basic mathematical notions of dynamical system theory, making the book useful for students of science majors and graduate courses.
