Central to the concept of this second edition is the idea that environmental systems are complex, open systems. The authors present the diversity of approaches to dealing with environmental complexity and then encourage readers to make comparisons between these approaches and between different disciplines.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eEnvironmental Modelling: Finding Simplicity in Complexity\u003c\/i\u003e 2nd edition is divided into four main sections: \u003c\/p\u003e \u003col\u003e \u003cli\u003eAn overview of methods and approaches to modelling.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eState of the art for modelling environmental processes\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eTools used and models for management\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eCurrent and future developments.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ol\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe second edition evolves from the first by providing additional emphasis and material for those students wishing to specialize in environmental modelling.
