MUST READ,

This review is from: The Science of Synthesis (Hardcover)
Deborah Hammond has done a masterful job with this book. If you are a practicing systems engineer or academic that believes in "holistic" systems engineering then this is a book to read.
She handles a complicated topic extremely well. Understanding the history of the underlying foundations for work in systems is a must. If you are working in Systems of Systems this book is even more powerful and may provide important insights. Kevin MacG. Adams, Ph.D.

A rich review of an important and largely unknown field,
By
This review is from: The Science of Synthesis (Hardcover)
General systems theory with its implications for virtually every aspect of human society represents one of the most important and least understood disciplines of our time. Its history in humanistic psychology and the mathematics of complexity is practically unknown, while the people who created this history are among the great minds of the 20th century. Here Professor Hammond, past president of the International Society for the Systems Sciences, illuminates this fascinating history as well as general systems theory itself.
