Above link opens to a readme file, please go to the containing folder (ASBSOC-1)for full view of all document files in the report THERE IS NO BOOK TITLED STRUCTURE BASED SCIENCE OF COMPLEXITY. Although the manuscript had been accepted in 1999 by Kluwer Publishing Warfield finally withdrew the book manuscript from publication because of repeated publishing delays. In 2001 he decided on a better title for the manuscript, changing the title to Understanding Complexity. Warfield eventually published the manuscript himself, as the first book produced by Warfield's AJAR Publishing Company. The manuscript remained essentially the same as it had been in 1999.Just the title was changed. An unpublished forerunner of the book was Warfield's 1996 manuscript titled “Work Program of Complexity,” which was revised and enlarged in 1998 and given the new title “Structure Based Science of Complexity.” Still later the book's title was changed to Understanding Complexity: Thought and Behavior, which is the final version appearing in print March 2002, published by Ajar Publishing Co., Palm Harbor, Florida. BOX 17 of Fenwick Library's Warfield Special Collection contains numerous drafts of this manuscript. There are lots of graphics problems in getting this book printed. A Finally, in June 2001 Warfield has changed the title of this manuscript again, and henceforth it is known as UNDERSTANDING COMPLEXITY: THOUGHT AND BEHAVIOR. It is also known in our files as "Draft #11 of ASBSOC"

Draft #2, completed 19 April 1999, [Must be put together from many files in c:invnrwjwpapersasbsoc-2] has approximately the same content as Draft #1, except that indexes have been added at the end of each chapter. There is no overall index for the entire book, nor is there consecutive page numbering. On 21 April 1999, Draft #2 was mailed to Kluwer Academic Publishers, in Dordrecht, the Netherlands, at invitation of the editors.
Draft #3, completed 1 June 1999,[no computer file available] has a total of 269 pages, (variously paged). It has the addition of a new Appendix, Appendix E: Demands of Complexity Meet the Killer Assumptions, 14p.
Draft #4, completed approximately 26 July 1999, can be found on computer in the filename: [c:invnrwjwpapersasbsoc-4manuscriptwholebook.wpd] was mailed on 2 August 1999 (by request from the publishing editor) to Rudolf W. Rijgersberg, Publishing Editor, Logic & Related Areas, Kluwer. It is the first consecutively paged version, numbered xii, 261, containing a Preface, 6 chapters and 5 appendices, and an Index. A note at end of the book states that a Bibliography is to be added later. The contents list gives titles of 16 tables, and 52 figures contained in the book. Accepted for publication by Kluwer. Publication declined by Warfield because Kluwer would not grant him the copyright
Draft #5 - completed 25 August 1999,[no computer file available] was mailed September 3, 1999 to Melissa Morton, an editor at Imperial College Press, London. Contains xii, 261 pages, same chapters and appendices as above, with added Bibliography. On September 18, 1999 a copy of "Marketing Information for A Structure Based Science of Complexity" was mailed to Melissa Morton.
Draft #6 - completed 12 October 1999, can be found on computer in the filename: [c:invnrwjwpapersasbsoc-6wholebook.wpd] contains xii, 268 pages. Differs from foregoing drafts primarily because it contains a much improved index which Warfield plans as his final version of book's index. A copy of the much improved index was sent to Melissa Morton. Imperial Press stopped corresponding. We think Melissa Morton left the company.
Draft #7 - We have no hard copy, nor a disk copy.[no computer file available] Warfield contacted Kluwer, told them they could have copyright. Kluwer sent contract but after Warfield returned signed contract, Kluwer did not sign it.
Draft #8 - xii, 268 pages [no computer file available] completed and mailed 2 Feb. 2000 to Kluwer. We have no hard copy nor a disk copy.
Draft #9 - xii, 268 pages can be found on the computer in the filename: [c:invnrwjwpapersasbsoc-9wholebook.wpd] completed 15 Feb. 2000. Mailed Feb 18 to Kluwer for additional reviews, needed because they were assigning book to Business & Econ department, and to a different editor, a Ms. Kim Wannet. On 15 March 2000, Draft #9 was printed by Warfield as a two small volumes with tape binding and bright orange paperback cover, and used for distribution in answer to requests from colleagues who had been waiting for its publication. No further word from Kluwer. Warfield sent request for information on book progress, and learned that Kluwer's Business & Econ editor had quit her job. August 2000 Warfield was contacted by Yubing Zhai, one of the editors at World Scientific Publishers (WSPC). Imperial College Press is a contractor of WSPC. World Scientific was interested in publishing the book, but didn't know the history with Imperial College Press.. Draft #10 - x, 268 pages [Must be combined from one files, c:invnrwjwpapersasbsoc-9NewPreface.wpd and one hard copy manuscript already in existence: a copy of Draft #9 manuscript] completed 6 Sept, mailed 7 Sept 2000 to, World Scientific Publishers.
Draft # 10 has exactly same content as Draft #9, except Warfield wrote a NEW PREFACE FOR DRAFT #10, and the old preface has been discarded from the hard copy master manuscript, to be replaced by the New Preface which is one page shorter than the old Preface.. December, 2000 - Yubing Zhai at World Scientific accepted the book for publication and sent a style book for Warfield to prepare the book for their printing specifications. 2 January 2001, Warfield sent an email message to Yubing Zhai at World Scientific in which he withdrew the book from World Scientific Publishers because he did not want to retype and renumber the pages to fit their book publishing format, nor did he want to redo the entire index to fit a new page numbering system, nor did he want to redo all the figures for the same reason. 5 January 2001 Warfield received an email message from a new different editor at Kluwer, Ms. Cathelijne van Herwaarden in Kluwer Business & Econ Dept. She apologized for delay and asked if Warfield was still open to "cooperating with Kluwer" on the book. A second email on 11 January from this same editor Ms. Van Hewaarden, said the book would have to be sent out for review again, and "if the results are positive, I can offer you a contract.".
Draft #11 - The only major change is a change of title. The new title EFFECTIVE IN A HARD COPY MANUSCRIPT DATED JUNE 2001 will be: UNDERSTANDING COMPLEXITY: THOUGHT AND BEHAVIOR. This June 2001 manuscript has ten pages of front matter (Pages I - x: title page, verso page updated to June 2001, preface, tables of contents, lists of figures, list of tables), plus 268 pages of text (Pages 1-268: Chapters 1 -6, Appendices A,B, C, D,E, a Bibliography and an Index). Some of the pages are so FULL, that they tend to over run onto consecutive pages, thus making the digitized document seem to have 270 pages. But actually, only 268 pages are intended and if the print out for each page is done carefully, making sure proper text in on the proper page, it comes to 268 pages, if using an Hpiii OR hp iv OR hp3220. It could be that when Warfield wrote the original manuscript in the GMU office that he was printing it AS A POSTSCRIPT PRINTER MANUSCRIPT, WHICH MIGHT HAVE MADE THE PAGE COUNT MORE EASILY FIT AS 268 Pages. Anyway, we don't have a postscript printer in Palm Harbor, and on our current printers it usually comes out 270 pages unless we fiddle with the manuscript. Using an Acrobat pdf writer printer, it comes out as 292 pages. Using an Epsom 440 color printer it comes out as 275 pages. It has to be a 268 page manuscript, actually, because if it isn't 268 pages, then the index won't fit the page numbers. (r.w. circa 2000, 2007, updated Dec 18, 2017)
