In the years following her role as the lead author of the international bestseller, "Limits to Growth"athe first book to show the consequences of unchecked growth on a finite planeta Donella Meadows remained a pioneer of environmental and social analysis until her untimely death in 2001.Meadowsa newly released manuscript, "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 Instituteas Diana Wright, 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.Some of the biggest problems facing the worldawar, hunger, poverty, and environmental degradationaare essentially system failures. They cannot be solved by fixing one piece in isolation from the others, because even seemingly minor details have enormous power to undermine the best efforts of too-narrow thinking.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 stay a learner.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.
这本书在亚马逊在物理和管理类书籍分类下都有。基本思想还是挺简单的。如下。 很多事物都可以简化为模型。一个标准模型需要一个储存站和流入流出端。在流入或者流出端加入一个反馈循环,就可以调控储存站的存量了。 1. 一个稳定的系统需要balancing feedback loop。比如调温阀...
评分为什么雾霾问题总得不到解决?频繁换工作,每次都不顺心怎么办?农田里虫害严重,怎么应对才能事半功倍?病人为什么越治越多?一款生态产品本身很好,价格也不贵,怎么销量总是上不去?地球生态系统会在几十年内崩溃吗?……这些问题看似风马牛不相及,但实质上都与“系统”相...
评分真正好的思想,是深入浅出的。推荐本书最大的理由是,一个长期在系统思维寻求突破的人,可以用本书返璞归真,获得顿悟。 能用简单的语言,清晰描述一个复杂的东西,本身就是作者内力的体现。 我们的系统思维能力,就是我们的一种内力。只有内力强大,招式才能最大限度的发挥...
评分正因为系统具有极强的综合性并且跨越各门学科,故而在本书中能够被作者旁征博引式地广泛应用于科学,林业,生态保护,政策规划,以及日常生活中。而正是因为它的这种特殊的综合性和百科全书式的含纳模式导致了系统动态作为一种科学方法注定前行举步维艰。仅只这一特性,便引出...
评分A great book about system thinking ! This way of thinking could be widely applied to basically every part of our life.
评分确实会让人改变思考问题的角度,全局动态的看待周边。但感觉第一部分还是有点过于理论抽象,当开始讲我们和系统时渐入佳境,最后让人豁然开朗。
评分清晰、有关怀的系统思考介绍。
评分难道只有我觉得很差⋯⋯ 真是应了那句话: It writes a lot but says little.
