Focusing especially on the history of the MX program, this book
examines the process of U.S. weapons procurement decision making.
The authors demonstrate that strategic and general political
factors (as opposed to bureaucratic concerns) play a far more
decisive role in the decision-making process than is indicated in
previous studies of weapons procurement. They also point to the
significant contributions of congressional and public debate in
influencing U.S. policy concerning weapons procurement. The authors
conclude that the pattern of decision making with regard to the MX
reflects a change that began in the 1970s and thus will be
significant in explaining procurement policy in the decade ahead.

The importance of complexity is well-captured by Hawking's comment:
"Complexity is the science of the 21st century". From the movement
of flocks of birds to the Internet, environmental sustainability,
and market regulation, the study and understanding of complex
non-linear systems has become highly influential over the last 30
years. In this Very Short Introduction, one of the leading figures
in the field, John Holland, introduces the key elements and
conceptual framework of complexity. From complex physical systems
such as fluid flow and the difficulties of predicting weather, to
complex adaptive systems such as the highly diverse and
interdependent ecosystems of rainforests, he combines simple,
well-known examples - Adam Smith's pin factory, Darwin's comet
orchid, and Simon's 'watchmaker' - with an account of the
approaches, involving agents and urn models, taken by complexity
theory. ABOUT THE SERIES: The Very Short Introductions series from
