In a world where every action, no matter how small, holds the potential to create ripples of change, I find myself at the helm of a new journey as the co-editor of this page. Join me as we uncover the pages of ‘Feedback,’ a book that unravels the complexities of saving or endangering our world.
My name is Regina Révay and I am helping Péter in his new book. I am a biomedical engineer student at BUTE (Budapest University of Technology and Economics) and I give you a taste of his upcoming book.
So far in the previous books, Ranking and Repair you can read about various topics. Ranking is a book that explores the concept of ranking, its implications, and its manipulation through real-life examples. It provides insights into how to create objective rankings while acknowledging the complexities of ranking in both real and virtual communities, helping readers navigate the interplay between objectivity and subjectivity. Repair on the other hand is about embracing both complex systems theory and social psychology, in one book, which presents a fresh approach to resource management, covering material possessions and human connections. Offering guidance to various generations, the book navigates the ‘replace or repair’ dilemma, empowering readers to mend personal relationships, adapt to change, and contribute to a mending world, while exploring the journey from a disposable culture to one focused on repair.
Now the new book, titled FEEDBACK – How to Destroy or Save the World? is about our impact in the world. The reader can learn it through historical and current examples from Norbert Wiener’s Dream to the Canadian wildfires in 2023. If you want to know what is feedback and feedback control now this is your time. You can get to know these:
- feedback and feedback control
- negative and positive feedback
- feedback through technology, biological systems or climate change
- increasing return, stock market crashes, hyperinflation
So why would I recommend it? Because this book guides the reader through a complex topic through well-illustrated examples from a new perspective.
