Principia Cybernetica Web now offers the complete text and drawings
of the book "The Macroscope" by Joel de Rosnay. It was originally
published in 1979 by Harper & Row, (New York), but is now out of
print. The web version is available at:
This is an excellent, easy to read introduction to cybernetics and
systems thinking, with applications to living organisms, the economy
and the world as a whole. The different systems, processes and
mechanisms are beautifully illustrated with examples and pictures.
Although the text is over 20 years old, this visionary document is
still highly relevant to our present situation and state of
knowledge.
