Good place here to look for abstracts of these papers, all done by Warfield. Addressed to potential publishers, this paper is a proposal for a book of 14 essays on complexity that were written during the period 1995-1997. There is a one-page abstract for each of the titles, but no full papers. As such, this paper serves as a useful bibliography of papers considered the most important by the author for this time period. The Prospectus includes only the titles from Parts 2 and 3 of the 529 page compendium titled Essays on Complexity which John printed in 1997 as an IASIS monograph and distributed to colleagues.
