Thinking in Systems: International Bestseller
Recommended By

Defines a system as an interconnected set of elements that is coherently organized in a way that achieves something.
Thinking in Systems is a concise and crucial book offering insight for problem solving on scales ranging from the personal to the global. Edited by the Sustainability Institute’s Diana Wright. Some of the biggest problems facing the world—war, hunger, poverty, and environmental degradation—are essentially system failures. They cannot be solved by fixing one piece in isolation from the others.
