Systems thinking/analysis is widely applied for solving complex problems in engineering and certain other fields. Astrobiology, which inherently involves complex problems, can benefit from such an approach. This book provides background and methodology of this approach for professionals, upper-level undergraduate students, and others with an interest in astrobiology topics.
