Panarchy: - Understanding Transforming in Human and Natural Systems

Bringing together leading thinkers on the subject, this book examines how to develop and examine the concept of panarchy, and to consider how it can be applied to human, natural, and human-natural systems. Throughout, contributors seek to identify adaptive approaches to management that recognize uncertainty and encourage innnovation while fostering resilience. Tables, figures, & index.
