Understanding Human Ecology offers a coherent conceptual framework
for human ecology - a clear approach for understanding the many
systems we are part of and for how we frame and understand the
problems we face. Blending natural, social, and cognitive sciences
with dynamical systems theory, this key text offers offer systems
approaches that are accessible to all, from the undergraduate
student to policymakers and practitioners across government,
business, and community. In the first edition, road-tested and
refined over a decade of teaching and workshops, the authors built
a clear, inspiring and important framework for anyone approaching
the management of complex problems and the transition to
sustainability. Fully updated for the second edition, the book now
goes further in using systems-thinking principles to explain
fundamental processes of change in social-ecological systems.
Revised case examples provide a working application of these
principles, whilst a new discussion of the hierarchical structure
of complex systems is included to guide practical policy making.
This new edition is essential reading for students and scholars of
human ecology, environmental ethics, and sustainability studies.
