Rubbing to cover edges. -- This peer-reviewed academic collection of essays and research papers is an interdisciplinary volume that integrates computer science, social science, and ecology to address contemporary environmental challenges. The book introduces a "new kind of science" focused on complex adaptive systems and the use of agent-based modelling to understand human-environment interactions. It outlines how agents - autonomous entities with individual goals and resources - can be used to simulate communication and collective adaptation within an ecosystem. Key chapters discuss the structure of social networks and the developing ontology of complexity science. David Batten contributes an analysis of "self-defeating systems" and the inherent uncertainty in managing evolving ecosystems. Gabriele Bammer presents a section on "Integration and Implementation Sciences" (I2S), proposing a new specialisation for tackling complex real-world problems. The work is regarded as a significant contribution to the field of human ecology, particularly for its focus on Australian ecosystems.
