                                  Viable System Model

   Sadly, your list of books on systems & cybernetics seems to have missed out all
   the texts on the Viable System Model, including most of Beer's work, and its
   continuation under Espejo. Since the VSM offers a well developed, and tried
   methodology for modelling organisations as complex adaptive systems, which is one
   thing that complexity theorists claim to be striving for, I would have thought
   that information on VSM would have been of particular interest to your readers.
