Wiener, Norbert. Cybernetics. Or Control and Communication in the Animal and the Machine. Sixth Edition. New York / Paris, The Technology Press / John Wiley & Sons Inc./ Hermann et Cie, 1949. 24cm x 15.8cm. 194 pages. Original Hardcover with fragments of the dustjacket in protective Mylar. Very good condition with only minor signs of wear. Endpaper inscribed and signed by Norbert Wiener to the american historian Irving Albert Leonard: To neighbor Irving A. Leonard from Neighbor Norbert Wiener - August 20,1949. Includes newspaper clipping from 1949 of interview with the author. Cybernetics describes the application of statistical mechanics methods to communications engineering. Its subject matter ranges from such control mechanisms as servo-mechanisms, mathematical calculators, and automatic pilots, to the nerves and brain of the human body. This book presents a study of human control functions and mechanico-electrical systems designed to replace them. As such it impinges on every branch of science. It is the outgrowth of extensive theoretical study and experimentation by Dr. Wiener and a group of outstanding scientists - including physiologists, psychologists, mathematicians, and electrical engineers. It includes chapters on: Newtonian and Bergsonian Time/ Groups and Statistical Mechanics/ Time Series, Information and Communication/ Feed-Back and Oscillation/ Computing Machines and the Nervous System/ Gestalt and Universals/ Cybernetics and Psychopathology/ Information, Language and Society. Wiener was Professor of Mathematics at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and Guest Investigator at the Instituto Nacional de Cardiologia de Mexico. Long considered on of the world's ranking mathematical analysts, he was also an exceptional linguist, philosopher, and literary scholar.
