Our Commitment to Green Publishing
Chelsea Green sees publishing as a tool for cultural change and ecological stewardship. We strive to align our book manufacturing practices with our editorial mission and to reduce the impact of our business enterprise in the environment. We print our books and catalogs on chlorine-free recycled paper, using soy-based inks whenever possible. This book may cost slightly more because we use recycled paper, and we hope you’ll agree that it’s worth it. Chelsea Green is a member of the Green Press Initiative (www.greenpressinitiative.org
Www.greenpressinitiative. org), a nonprofit coalition of publishers, manufacturers, and authors working to protect the world’s endangered forests and conserve natural resources. Thinking in Systems was printed on 55-lb. Natures Book Natural, a 30-percent postconsumer-waste, FSC-certified, recycled paper supplied by Thomson-Shore.

Part of this work has been adapted from an article originally published under the title “Whole Earth Models and Systems” in Coevolution Quarterly (Summer 1982). An early version of Chapter 6 appeared as “Places to Intervene in a System” in Whole Earth Review (Winter 1997) and later as an expanded paper published by the Sustainability Institute. Chapter 7, “Living in a World of Systems,” was originally published as “Dancing with Systems” in Whole Earth Review (Winter 2001).
这项工作的一部分改编自最初发表在《共同进化季刊》(1982年夏季)标题为“全球模型和系统”的一篇文章。第六章的早期版本在《全球评论》(1997年冬季)中作为”系统中的干预场所”出现，后来作为可持续发展研究所发表的扩展论文出版。第七章，“生活在一个系统的世界”，最初以“与系统共舞”的形式发表在《全球评论》(2001年冬)。
