Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. The Systems Thinking Framework presents a rigorous analytical methodology for understanding how complex phenomena, from climate disruption to human rights violations, emerge not from isolated causes but from interacting systems operating across time. This work formalizes systems thinking as a disciplined approach grounded in universal principles of work, energy, and temporal dynamics.Distinctively, the framework integrates normativity, power, and historical causation into systemic analysis, domains often excluded from conventional systems theory. Drawing on cross-civilizational intellectual traditions, including classical Greek philosophy and Islamic scholarship (notably Ibn Sina and Ibn Khaldun), the author demonstrates that holistic, relational reasoning has long provided durable insight into complex realities. The book introduces a step-by-step systems mapping protocol that enables scholars and practitioners to identify determinant and contributory systems, trace feedback dynamics, and locate leverage points for intervention.Applied innovatively to rights analysis, the framework reframes violations not as moral failures but as systemic outcomes produced by configurations optimized for efficiency, scale, or extraction. By making visible how interconnected economic, political, legal, and environmental systems generate persistent harm, this work offers an indispensable tool for scholars, teachers, researchers, and advocates confronting the entangled crises of our time, where fragmented explanations and single-variable solutions have repeatedly proven inadequate. The Systems Thinking Framework presents a rigorous and accessible reconstruction of systems thinking for the social sciences, humanities, and beyond. This item is printed on demand.

Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. This volume presents a curated and thematically organized translation of selected passages on riyaa (exercise) from the Canon of Medicine (al-Qanun fi al-ibb) of Ibn Sina. Drawing on Books I-IV of the Canon, it brings together both the systematic chapters in which exercise is treated as a central component of regimen, and the numerous dispersed references in which it appears as a governing principle in physiology, pathology, and therapy.In Ibn Sina's medical thought, exercise is a foundational mechanism of life. It sustains the body's internal balance by promoting transformation, aiding digestion, and preventing the accumulation of harmful residues. Its proper use-defined by moderation, timing, and adaptation to individual condition-extends across all domains of medicine: from the preservation of health and the development of the body, to the treatment of disease and the regulation of daily life. This volume traces that breadth, showing how a single principle operates across multiple levels of a unified medical system.Ibn Sina (980-1037), known in the Latin tradition as Avicenna, was one of the most influential physicians and philosophers of the medieval world. His Canon of Medicine remained a central medical text in both the Islamic world and Europe for centuries. Combining clinical observation with philosophical rigor, he articulated a comprehensive vision of the human body as a dynamic system governed by processes of balance, transformation, and motion.By assembling and translating these passages, this volume offers both a focused study of riyaa and an entry point into Ibn Sina's broader medical philosophy-one that continues to invite reflection on the nature of health, the role of movement, and the enduring continuity of knowledge across time and civilizations.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - Originally delivered as a series of lectures in Yan'an in 1938, On Protracted War stands as one of the most influential strategic treatises of the twentieth century. Written during the early stages of the Sino-Japanese War, Mao Zedong systematically dismantles both defeatist 'national subjugation' narratives and impulsive 'quick victory' fantasies, arguing instead that China's path to liberation lies in a deliberately protracted struggle. Through a dialectical analysis of strength and weakness, territory and population, and justice versus barbarism, Mao outlines a three-stage progression-strategic defense, stalemate, and counteroffensive-while elevating political mobilization, guerrilla tactics, and human agency over mere material superiority. This 2026 edition, prepared by the Institute for Integrated Systems Thinking, pairs a meticulous formal translation with an original foreword that reframes Mao's military theory through a contemporary Systems Thinking Framework. By drawing structural parallels to Ibn Khald¿n's sociology of power and treating time, work, and social energy as dynamic variables, the volume reveals the text's enduring relevance not only as a manual of asymmetric warfare, but as a profound study of how weaker systems can achieve systemic transformation through strategic patience, collective solidarity, and adaptive resilience.About the AuthorMao Zedong (1893-1976) was a Chinese revolutionary, political theorist, and the founding father of the People's Republic of China. Rising from rural Hunan to lead the Chinese Communist Party through decades of civil conflict and foreign invasion, Mao developed a distinctive Marxist-Leninist approach adapted to China's agrarian and semi-colonial reality. His military and political writings, composed largely during the Yan'an period, revolutionized the theory of people's war by centering mass mobilization, political education, and strategic flexibility over conventional firepower. On Protracted War (1938) emerged at a critical juncture in the Second Sino-Japanese War, when Mao's leadership helped unify fragmented resistance forces and establish a coherent strategic doctrine that would ultimately shape the course of Asian and global anti-imperial movements. Beyond his political legacy, Mao remains a seminal figure in twentieth-century strategic thought, with his analyses of asymmetric conflict, revolutionary organization, and the dialectics of power continuing to inform military academies, political theorists, and scholars of systemic transformation worldwide.…
