Panarchy: Understanding Transformations in Human and Natural Systems
by Lance H. Gunderson and C. S. Holling, eds.

Washington: Island Press, 2002

Creating institutions to meet the challenge of sustainability is arguably the most important task confronting society. Panarchy, a term devised to describe evolving hierarchical systems, offers an important new framework for integrating insights from ecology and the social sciences in this effort. Based on the concept of cycles of creative destruction and renewal. Panarchy is a fundamental new development in a widely acclaimed line of inquiry. It will be an invaluable resource for researchers, professionals, and students involved with ecology, economics, environmental policy, and related fields.
