(the late) Rook McCulloch

[Peter Cariani]

   Rook McCulloch also edited a 4 volume set of Warren McCulloch's works,
"The Collected Works of Warren S. McCulloch", published by Intersystems Press 
in 1989 (401 Victor Way #3, Salinas, CA 93907 USA; $84 for 4 volumes, paper). 
In addition to her forward and Warren McCulloch's papers, the set also 
contains some very nice essays by Jerry Lettvin, Michael Arbib, 
F.S.C. Northrop, Heinz von Foerster, D.M. MacKay (and others). For those of
us who never knew the McCullochs, this seems to be the best available 
source of information about what they thought and felt.

Also of relevance is the book of Steve Heims on the Macy conferences and
the origins of cybernetics ("The Cybernetics Group", MIT Press, 1991) in
which Warren McCulloch's role is amply discussed.
