🚀 New Book: A Systems Thinker's View of Systems Thinkers

I’m super excited to announce the publication of a new book authored by Graham Berrisford.

"A Systems Thinker’s View of Systems Thinkers" offers an exploration of diverse system kinds, concepts, principles, and influential thinkers such as Ackoff, Ashby, Beer, Bertalanffy, Forrester, Maturana, Meadows, and Senge.

The book is structured into five parts: "Foundations," "Closed Systems Thinking," "Open Systems Thinking," "Deeper Thinking," and "System Philosophy". It covers a wide array of approaches from Bertalanffy’s General Systems Theory to Ashby's Cybernetics, Forrester’s System Dynamics, and various Soft Systems Thinkers. Key concepts like "information," "abstraction," "feedback," "self-organization," "continuity and change," and "complexity" are explored as well.

The e-book is exclusive to and can be downloaded by all the community-tier members of Cyb3rSyn. This is book 5 (out of 8 for 2025) that is now available for download for our community members - please find the latest Cyb3rSyn Community publication schedule here.
