[Phys-l] Over Two-Hundred Annotated References on Systems Thinking

[Richard Hake <rrhake@earthlink.net>]

Some physicists might be interested in the compilation "Over 
Two-Hundred Annotated References on Systems Thinking" [Hake (2009)]. 
The abstract reads:

***********************************************
ABSTRACT: This 1.7 MB compilation of over 200 annotated references 
and over 300 hot-linked URL's provides a window into the vast 
literature on "Systems Thinking."

Systems Thinking is characterized by the consideration of natural, 
scientific, engineered, human, or conceptual entities as systems in 
which the component parts interact with one another and with other 
systems so as to produce emergent properties which cannot be 
understood through analysis of the single parts of the system.

Examples are provided by twelve quotes of systems thinkers.

References are given in alphabetical order with superscripts that 
indicate their origin in the following categories: Ecology, 
Economics, Education, Engineering, Evaluation, General, and Physics.
