THINKING IN SYSTEMS – THE BOOK
"In Dana Meadows's brilliantly integrative worldview, everything causes everything else; cause and effect loop back on themselves. She was the clearest thinker and writer co-creating the art and science of systems dynamics, and Thinking in Systems distills her lifetime of wisdom. This clear, fun-to-read synthesis will help diverse readers everywhere to grasp and harness how our complex world really works."
—Amory B. Lovins, Chairman and Chief Scientist, Rocky Mountain Institute
