Text of Note

This publication proposes that we return to ́ℓℓfirst principleśℓℓ--fundamental physical laws of the universe--and think about complex systems from the ground up based on modern scientific theory backed up by practical experience.℗ℓ Since the days of the American Frontier, our management policies have promoted a one-size-fits-all mentality for large, complex landscapes. Landscape ecologist Charles Curtin argues that instead we need a science-based approach that accounts for the dynamic nature of complex systems and gives local stakeholders a say in their futures. Curtin walks us through foundational concepts of thermodynamics, ecology, sociology, and resilience theory, applying them to real-world examples from years he has spent designing large-scale, place-based collaborative research programs in the United States and around the world
