This second edition of his book Anticipatory systems, has been carefully revised and edited, and includes an Introduction by Judith Rosen. It has also been expanded with a set of Prolegomena by Dr. Mihai Nadin, who offers an historical survey of this fast growing field since the original work was published. There is also some exciting new work, in the form of an additional chapter on the Ontology of Anticipation, by Dr. John Kineman. An addendum, with autobiographical reminiscences by Robert Rosen, himself, and a short story by Judith Rosen about her father, adds a personal touch.
