This essential primer brings systems thinking out of the realm of computers and equations and into the tangible world showing readers how to develop the systems-thinking skills that thought leaders across the globe consider critical for 21st-century life. While readers will learn the conceptual tools and methods of systems thinking the heart of the book is grander than methodology. Donella Meadows was known as much for nurturing positive outcomes as she was for delving into the science behind global dilemmas. She reminds readers to pay attention to what is important not just what is quantifiable to stay humble and to continue to learn. In a world growing ever more complicated crowded and interdependent Thinking in Systems helps readers avoid confusion and helplessness the first step toward finding proactive and effective solutions. A vital read for students professionals and all those concerned with economics business sustainability and the environment"--Provided by publisher. 000856992 588__ $$aDescription based on print version record. 000856992 650_0 $$aSocial problems$$xDecision making. 000856992 650_0 $$aCritical thinking. 000856992 650_0 $$aSystem analysis$$xSimulation methods. 000856992 650_0 $$aDecision making$$xSimulation methods. 000856992 650_0 $$aCritical thinking$$xSimulation methods. 000856992 650_0 $$aSustainable development$$xSimulation methods. 000856992 650_0 $$aSocial sciences$$xSimulation methods. 000856992 650_0 $$aEconomic development$$xEnvironmental aspects$$xSimulation methods. 000856992 650_0 $$aPopulation$$xEconomic aspects$$xSimulation methods. 000856992 650_0 $$aPollution$$xEconomic aspects$$xSimulation methods. 000856992 650_0 $$aEnvironmental education$$xSimulation methods. 000856992 7001_ $$aWright, Diana,$$d1961-$$eeditor. 000856992 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aMeadows, Donella H.$$tThinking in systems.$$dWhite River Junction, Vermont : Chelsea Green Publishing, 2008.$$z9781603580557$$w(DLC) 2008035211 000856992 852__ $$bcoll 000856992 85280 $$bebk$$hProQuest Ebook Central 000856992 85640 $$3ProQuest Ebook Central$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://ebookcentral.proquest.com/lib/usiricelib-ebooks/detail.action?docID=5149062$$zOnline Access 000856992 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:856992$$pGLOBAL_SET 000856992 980__ $$aEBOOK 000856992 980__ $$aBIB 000856992 982__ $$aEbook 000856992 983__ $$aOnline
