Biologist/philosopher Ludwig von Bertalanffy may be the least known major thinker and theoretician of the twentieth century. Bertalanffy left behind a precious legacy: a new way of "seeing" and thinking that he called General Systems Theory. GST shows us how to understand organic and organizational complexities and is a guide for effectively bringing about change. In explaining GST, Mark Davidson guides the reader through the confusing array of current systems approaches: cybernetics; operations research; information, game, and catastrophe theory.

This review is from: Uncommon Sense: The Life and Thought of Ludwig von Bertalanffy (1901-1972), Father of General Systems Theory (Hardcover)
Bertalanffy was truly one of the great minds of the last 100 years. Davidson makes his work accessible and pertinent. Aha moments abound.
