                                            ALWYN C. SCOTT

                                           1931 - 2007

.                                        

We regret to announce the passing of CCS co-founder Al Scott after a long illness. Al was a wonderful man and a good friend who pioneered nonlinear science

and emergence and applied them to the study of consciousness. 

Al’s book “Stairway to the Mind” is the classic work

on emergence of consciousness, and his last

book “The nonlinear universe” will appear later

this year. Al is survived by his loving wife

Lynn MacNeill, daughter Leila and sons Emmon and Alwyn Jr.
