Book Summary: “This Book Is Going To Be One Of Those That Changes The Way You See Literally Everything.” –Gary Smith, 2024-25 President, International Society For The Systems Sciences“A Fascinating Vision Of The World As A Kaleidoscope Of Patterns On The Smallest And Largest Scales.“ “??Get It!” –Kirkus Reviews“Seeing Has Forged A New And Needed Niche In The Ecosystem Of Books For The General Public About Systems Thinking, Theory, And Practice.–Tyler Volk, PhD, Author, Metapatterns And Quarks To CultureA New Science Is Emerging In This Century. Systems Science, Also Called Complexity Science, Describes How Everything, From An Atom To A Brain To The Universe, Is Made Up Of The Same Patterns. For 14 Billion Years, Nature’s Systems Have Organized Themselves Using Networks, Boundaries, Bonds, Flows, Feedback, Cycles, Evolution, And More. Understand How Nature’s Complex Systems Work Generally And We Can Better Organize Ourselves. Seeing Is The First Field Guide To These Patterns And Processes. Systems Theorist And Researcher Lynn Rasmussen Distills The Work Of Hundreds Of Scientists, Theorists, And Systems Thinkers Down To The Essentials. Thanks To Its Straightforward Text And Illustrations, Readers At All Levels Easily Grasp 19 Core “system Processes.”Seeing Illustrates How These Newfound Patterns Work In Everyday Life. A Child’s Tantrum Is An Amplifying Feedback Loop And A Parent’s Soothing Is Balancing Feedback. In An Organization, 20% Of The People Doing 80% Of The Work Illustrates A Power-law Distribution. One Link Connecting Two Nodes In Different Networks Causes Information, Viruses, And Forest Fires To Leap And Rapidly Spread.Take It A Bit Deeper And You Begin To See How Western Twentieth-century Reasoning Is Dominated By Division. To Understand Something, We Break It Into Parts. But Dividing The World Into Economics, Politics, And Religions, The Human From The Natural, Mind From Spirit, Divides Us. And That Kind Of Thinking And Reasoning Leads To Environmental, Social, And Personal Crises.Seeing Illuminates Another Way. Ask The Same Questions Of Every Kind Of System–Is It A Network? Is It Made Up Of Networks? What Are Its Boundaries? Inputs? Outputs? How Does It Adapt And Evolve Through Time?–and New Possibilities Appear. Former Logic Seems Archaic. Seeing Reveals The Power Of This New Metascience To Transcend And Synthesize, Expand Our Perception, And Bring Us Together.
