"Sociology and Complexity Science is the first book in over a decade to survey the cutting-edge research taking place at the intersection of complexity science and sociology, including such innovative areas as computational sociology, the new science of networks, sociocybernetics, new social systems theory, and the British-based school of complexity. Sociology and Complexity also showcases a new method for studying social complexity, called the Social Systems Toolbox (SST). The SST is a toolbox of ""working"" concepts and procedural techniques crated to help researchers assemble their own model of a social system. The concepts are specifically designed to give researchers a practical framework for organizing their empirical inquiries into the structure and dynamics of most social systems. Another notable feature of our book is its companion website, an internet-based resource for learning about the theories, concepts, and methods of complexity science and its integration with sociology."
