This sentence summarizes the features of the phenomenon that we call "collapse," which is typically sudden and often unexpected, like the proverbial "house of cards." But why are such collapses so common, and what generates them? Several books have been published on the subject, including the well known "Collapse" by Jared Diamond (2005), "The collapse of complex societies" by Joseph Tainter (1998) and "The Tipping Point," by Malcom Gladwell (2000). Why The Seneca Effect? This book is an ambitious attempt to pull these various strands together by describing collapse from a multi-disciplinary viewpoint. The reader will discover how collapse is a collective phenomenon that occurs in what we call today "complex systems," with a special emphasis on system dynamics and the concept of "feedback." From this foundation, Bardi applies the theory to real-world systems, from the mechanics of fracture and the collapse of large structures to financial collapses, famines and population collapses, the fall of entire civilzations, | | 出版日期 | Book 2017 | | 关键词 | Malthusian catastrophe; collapse of complex structures; the mechanics of fracture; limits to growth; res | | 版次 | 1 | | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-57207-9 | | isbn_softcover | 978-3-319-86103-6 | | isbn_ebook | 978-3-319-57207-9Series ISSN 1612-3018 Series E-ISSN 2197-6619 | | issn_series | 1612-3018 | | copyright | Springer International Publishing AG 2017 |
