More about the book

The book explores the polarized views surrounding the systems approach, highlighting both its advocates who see it as a robust method for analysis and its critics who regard it as detrimental. It references a humorous take on the complexity of studies based on the number of variables involved. The author also addresses skepticism from a reviewer who dismissed the systems approach as unhelpful and misleading, specifically in relation to soil studies, while proposing a formal framework through dynamical systems theory.
