Here is an ever-evolving list of books and articles I’ve been learning from. Some of these resources have influenced my research/teaching immensely and some of them only inspired me during periods of synthesising knowledge. Selecting an item for the list does not imply that I fully agree with the particular opinions expressed in or the values underlie it; it only implies that I find the item valuable in some way or other.
The topics covered by the items in this list encompass a wide range of fields including system innovation, transition management, business and sustainability, futures studies, complex systems, design, transdisciplinary research, sustainability science, facilitation and creativity. It is by no means an exhaustive list of available resources in these areas but I am putting effort to expand the list so that it covers some key outputs and is up to date. If you have any sugesstions, please feel free to send me a note with the details of the item.
