Reviews
"Neuman's approach is an ingenious way to introduce an issue?" "A compilation of highly interesting topic that will undoubtedly transform
the way readers think about organisms". Angewandte Chemie International2009.
"This
enthusiastically written and thought-provoking book – challenges dogmas of received wisdom such as reductionism, both mechanical and
genetic? Neuman's observations about the fallacy of sacrificing real-world properties in the interest of formal tractability are of great
importance to systems thinkers, analysts, and modelers in various application areas, who wish to avoid serious failures in their work". Computing Reviews 2009 (an ACM Review Journal)
"Neuman presents a fascinating analysis of biological
interactions that aims to transcend the sort of billiard-ball model of causation that seems to be presupposed by the reductionists who
are his target? Neuman has put the issues into what seems to be a more appropriate context, and that is a splendid accomplishment". Perspectives
in Biology and Medicine 2009.
