Understanding Human Ecology: A systems approach to sustainability 2nd edition

Robert Dyball, Barry Newell

    Research output: Book/ReportBookpeer-review

    Abstract

    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 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 policymaking.
    This new edition is essential reading for students and scholars of human ecology,
    environmental ethics, and sustainability studies
