Complexity and Sustainability by Jennifer Wells (English) Hardcover Book

Description: Complexity and Sustainability by Jennifer Wells Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description This book surveys the role of these complexity principles in the natural sciences, social theory, transdisciplinary discourse, philosophy, and ethics, and shows how this complexity framework is a valuable lens for approaching the spectre of climate change and life in the Anthropocene. Publisher Description Complexity and Sustainability analyzes two of the most fascinating and compelling areas of modern social science research. First, the book elucidates complexity theories as a clearly coherent, powerful, transdisciplinary ensemble, including advances in the natural sciences, but focusing much more broadly on major research throughout the social sciences and philosophy. Second, it shows how this complexity framework advances sustainability. The rationale is that a transdisciplinary exposition reveals the deep and broad implications of complexity theories as a perspective on our times in multiple areas of human lives and policy. This includes particular complexity principles, such as networks, feedbacks, nested hierarchies, emergence and self-organization, but also the implications that flow from complex dynamic systems. This book focuses on applications to climate change science and ethics as a framework for various other global crises -- resource depletion, famine, extinctions, financial and pollution, providing a framework to help articulate solutions integrating social, ecological, economic and technological realms.
