Summary:This is the substantially updated second edition of the first comprehensive overview of systems science for advanced undergraduate and graduate students. This new edition adds supplemental examples and exercises, and a selection of recent papers in systems science. From a review in <EM>Kybernetika</EM>: "One is struck in reading <EM>Facets</EM> at just how monumental of an undertaking this ... As Klir presents it, systems science represents a new dimension of science. ... I would like to suggest that a close study of <EM>Facets</EM> is likely to benefit anyone interested in gaining new insights into scientific inquiry itself as well as new methods for investigating problems of individual interest. Thanks Professor Klir!"--Richard M. Smith.
