A collection of 50 of Warfield’s papers in seven volumes. Included are publisher's offprints, government reports, research reports, conference papers, proceedings papers, and unpublished manuscripts. The papers are arranged chronologically, beginning with 1968 reports that Warfield did for Ohio Department of Education, continuing with the most significant of the many papers and reports he contributed to the field of Environmental Education. Next are papers from years during which he sought to improve the philosophy which…
A short bibliography of articles related to the possibilities for improvement in education, at all age levels.
Written primarily by Dr. Xuefeng Song, this paper discusses and systematically compares five different schools of complexity. Warfield often used as a handout. This is the original version of a paper later published under the title “The Comparison Among the Schools of Science of Complexity.”
List of collection of papers given to Professor Elohim of Polytechnic Institute of Mexico, Mexico City, Mexico, who hoped to start a small Systems institute in Mexico City.
Award was for best paper in the Designing and Systems Symposium held in Vienna, Austria in April 1988. That paper for which Warfield won the award is titled “On The Design of Language for System Design.”
Unfinished manuscript intended to be a collection of highly critical book reviews of management and policy publications. About nine books are listed, but no reviews or commentary is added to any of the titles.

A manual containing six papers about complexity that Warfield wrote between 1995 and 1996. All of them had been previously printed and distributed as separate papers. The paper titles are: “Spreadthink Explaining Ineffective Groups,” “Demands of Complexity on Systems Science,” “Structural Thinking: Organizing Complexity . . .” (Warfield & Staley), “Five Schools of Thought About Complexity,” “The Corporate Observatorium,” “The Wandwaver Solution” (includes appendices), and “Mentomology.” See also, “Essays on Complexity: A Prospectus,” “Essays on…
Addressed to potential publishers. This paper serves as a useful bibliography of papers Warfield considered the most important for this time period. Includes abstracts of the papers found in Part 2 and Part 3 of the 529 page compendium titled “Essays on Complexity.” For a list of the titles, see notes field.

A manuscript collection of 21 papers in three volumes divided by year. See “Essays on Complexity: A Prospectus,” “Essays on Complexity 1988-1994,” “Essays on Complexity 1995-1996” and “Essays on Complexity 1997 (Mid-Year Edition).” See notes field for a list of the paper included.
A table that lists essays sent to W.L. Livingston. Contains three columns with the captions Number, Title, Date Sent, Issue of Publication. Six titles are listed.
Deals with the evaluation of a Regional Environmental Learning System (RELS). Provides a background in evaluation skills and approaches to help identify needs for evaluation, show how to design evaluation studies, and assess the data needed for evaluations, particularly the evaluations of environmental educational programs. Discusses e contexts of local evaluation are discussed: (1) Evaluation by a board of directors, (2) evaluation of impact of inservice, (3) evaluation of bias, (4) evaluation of student achievement,…
Describes suggested improvement for one of Warfield’s ISM algorithms and reports on a study of the Japanese paper, during which the GMU computer CDC CYBER 830 was used to run comparison tests. The tests confirm that the Japanese algorithm is more efficient than the old one published in Societal Systems, at least under the conditions studied. See also, Azuma Ohuchi, M. Kurihara and I. Kaji, “Efficient Procedure for Transitive Coupling in ISM," IEEE:SMC 15:3 (426-431).
