Description for Modeling the Environment, Second Edition: An Introduction To System Dynamics Modeling Of Environmental Systems
Paperback. Focuses on the modeling techniques that allow managers and researchers to see in advance the consequences of actions and policies in environmental management. This book demonstrates the fundamental principles of system dynamics, which is one of the most widely used methods of modeling. Num Pages: 488 pages, black & white illustrations, black & white tables, figures. BIC Classification: PBWH; RNF. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational; (U) Tertiary Education (US: College).

"Modeling the Environment" was the first textbook in an emerging field - the modeling techniques that allow managers and researchers to see in advance the consequences of actions and policies in environmental management. This new edition brings the book thoroughly up to date and reaffirms its status as the leading introductory text on the subject. System dynamics is one of the most widely used methods of modeling. The fundamental principles of this approach are demonstrated here with a wide range of examples, including geohydrology, population biology, epidemiology, and economics. The applications demonstrate the transferability of the systems approach across disciplines, ... Read more
