As I left the canyon's bottom and climbed over its rim, I was struck by how vast and open the sagebrush steppe is. The contrast was remarkable! Whereas the canyon is a complex of visibly discrete habitats that formed a clear, interconnected mosaic within the confines of its walls, the area above the rim is an endless, indivisible expanse of Great Basin sagebrush and grasses to the horizon and beyond.With my first step above the rim, I left the enchantment of the canyon's gentle breezes to be greeted by the uplifting melody of a meadowlark-my welcoming committee for this phase of work.

Presents an opinion that we must understand the complexity and interdependency of species and habitats from the microscopic level to the gigantic. This book shows how easily observable species are part of a complicated infrastructure. It also shows that forests are far more complicated, which means simplistic policies will not save them.
Increasingly, social-environmental decision making is like playing a multidimensional game of chess. Facing complex interactions between the atmosphere, the litho-hydrosphere, and the biosphere, policy makers and managers need a systemic approach to decision making. Replacing the dysfunctional, symptomatic thinking that has plunged the world into environmental crises, the new paradigm of systemic decision making fosters social-environmental sustainability. Based on the author¿s more than 45 years of research and international experience, it guides readers to work with, rather than within, theoretical and methodological frameworks to achieve multidimensional and multilayered policy decisions.
