  <abstract>examines how complex global issues such as climate change, poverty, and environmental degradation arise from interconnected social and ecological systems. The book introduces human ecology as a holistic framework for understanding and managing these challenges through systems thinking.
The authors combine concepts from natural sciences, social sciences, cognitive sciences, and dynamical systems theory to explain how humans interact with environmental and social systems. They provide practical and accessible approaches for analyzing sustainability problems, emphasizing interconnectedness, adaptation, and long-term resilience.</abstract>
