- Synopsis
- Seeking Sustainability in an Age of Complexity explains why sustainability is hard and why ‘collapse’ can occur. In the last 20 years the theory of complexity has been developed -- complex systems science (CSS) speaks to natural systems and particularly to ecological, social and economic systems and their interaction. Due to the growing concern over the huge changes occurring in the global environment, such as climate change, deforestation, habitat fragmentation and loss of biodiversity, Graham Harris sets out what has been learned in an attempt to understand the implications of these changes, and suggests ways to move forward. This book discusses a number of emerging tools for the management of ‘unruly’ complexity, that facilitate stronger regional dialogues about knowledge and values, that will be of interest to ecologists, sociologists, economists, natural resource managers and scientists in state and local governments, as well as to those involved in water and landscape management.
