Tackling Wicked Problems: Through the Transdisciplinary Imagination 1st Edition

The authors of Tackling Wicked Problems discuss a range of idea around the notion of sustainability and socio-ecological well being. Wide range of issues discussed, from education, to institutions and future research endevours.An important read for anyone familiar or interested in the field of soft systems thinking or human ecology.

It is time that thought leaders remove themselves from the confines of disciplinary silos and understand that to tackle the vexing problems of the world a new approach is needed. This insightful book by Brown presents such a model.

My major complaint is the cost of this text. It's twice as expensive as when it was published with no reissue. This puts it out of the realm of the people who could use it the most in their daily practice. Please put out a second edition paperback.

Rigorous yet approachable. If Tackling Wicked Problems was a person, it would "not suffer fools gladly," but it would provide intellectual solace and inspiration to those who are genuinely struggling to think outside the box in connection with sustainability challenges. Highly recommended. - Alan AtKisson, author of  Believing Cassandra: How to be an Optimist in a Pessimist's World  and  The Sustainability Transformation: How to Accelerate Positive Change in Challenging Times
