谨以此书纪念钱学森诞辰110周年梳理18世纪以来经典科学研究方法结合当前世界科技发展前沿，权威解读钱学森系统科学思想以新时代系统观念探寻“钱学森之问”解决路径

众所周知，钱学森是享誉海内外的杰出科学家、中国航天事业的奠基人，然而同时，钱学森还是一位思想家，是系统工程中国学派的创始人。钱学森的一生先后经历了20年美国学术奠基、近28年中国航天实践、晚年近30年学术研究，他在哲学、科学、技术、工程各个层面均取得了巨大成就。钱学森的一生生动诠释了他本人的一句话：要敢于说别人没说过的话、走别人没走过的路、干别人没有干成的事。本书由钱学森智库撰写，由中国航天系统科学与工程研究院和本社联合组成编委会。全书分为四个部分：“从拂晓到黎明：新的思想之光”“时代的呼唤：创建系统学”“系统观念下的科学预见”“从此岸到彼岸：新世界的猜想”，内容丰富，资料全面，用通俗易懂的方式，比较全面地阐述了钱学森的系统论思想，特别是开放的复杂巨系统理论的缘起、发展、成熟、创新，试图拨开时代的迷雾，为人类认识客观世界、改造客观世界提供新的理论武器。
