I'm currently doing a course on systems thinking for an MSc in software engineering and our main text book is Systems Practice: How to Act in a Climate-Change World by Ray Ison. Oddly it has almost nothing to do with climate change but I'm finding it a pretty good primer to systemic inquiry and the terminology involved.
I'm also finding learning about systems practice is making a huge impact on how I consider my work and my role within it. My goal in taking the MSc was to eventually become a "real" engineer and I'm finding systems to be a hugely important first step with that.
This book looks fascinating! Thanks for mentioning it. (I do a lot of climate change related activism, and I'm always on the lookout for resources like these!)
