About the Book

This unique volume presents a new approach - the general theory of information - to scientific understanding of information phenomena. Based on a thorough analysis of information processes in nature, technology, and society, as well as on the main directions in information theory, this theory synthesizes existing directions into a unified system. The book explains how this theory opens new kinds of possibilities for information technology, information sciences, computer science, knowledge engineering, psychology, linguistics, social sciences, and education.The book also gives a broad introduction to the main mathematically-based directions in information theory. The general theory of information provides a unified context for existing directions in information studies, making it possible to elaborate on a comprehensive definition of information; explain relations between information, data, and knowledge; and demonstrate how different mathematical models of information and information processes are related.Explanation of information essence and functioning is given, as well as answers to the following questions:

Review :
Researchers and advanced students of information theory and practice will find this book an essential resource for a large variety of methods, techniques and theories in information studies. It is suitable as a textbook in information theory for students of technical, scientific, and mathematical subjects, as well as a supplementary textbook in traditional courses on information theory. Burgin's GTI reveals fascinating relations between matter, knowledge, energy, and information and makes it possible to discuss new types of information such as affective information and effective information in an organized fashion. Both the expert and the general reader will get an essential new ideas and tools with which to understand and use the concept of information. -- Joseph E. Brenner "International Center for Transdisciplinary Research, Paris"
