If physics is ' what physicists do', focusing on ' organization' and ' emergence' means making the point on some of liveliest interdisciplinary research areas and inquiring on the way we build our theoretical architectures" in order to take up the complexity challenge.

Crossing in Complexity. Interdisciplinary Application of Physics in Biological and

Social Systems

This book Published by the Nova Science Publishers, NY, USA.

Book Description:

The developments of theoretical physics in the field of complex systems and emergence has evidenced that many mathematical methods and traditional approaches can migrate towards biological and social systems. The deep physical explanation of such new vitality is simple in its essence and has to be searched in the universality of the emergence processes typical of the Middle Way suggested by the prophetic works of Anderson, Pines and Laughlin. In particular, the systems based on competition and co-operation and their sustainable dependence on the environment - well-known to the physicists since the Ising classical model - have provided a great deal of conceptual suggestions for the study of biological and social economic processes.
