'... this is a book that anyone interested in integrated assessment modelling is advised to read.' -- Barry B. Hughes, Foresight 'This book provides an overview of the field of integrated assessment along with relevant methodological concerns and problems. The author has also contributed to the development of better tools by appropriately reshaping existing methods for the new types of problems faced by the human kind during the last decade in the area of global change and sustainable development... It includes quite a comprehensive list of references and is full of illustrative curves and diagrams. Any professional interested in the field of global change and sustainable development would benefit immensely from this book.' -- Tara Chandra Kandpal, Journal of Science and Industry Research 'Marco Janssen's book Modelling Global Change is a quiet revolution in method. It is quiet because the claims are modest. The methods and examples are deeply informed by empirical theories of organismal, evolutionary and cultural change. It is revolutionary because it shatters and offers alternatives to the doctrinaire encrustation of simplistic methods that have dominated and distorted resource, environmental and economic analyses for three decades. It is a book that should be read by anyone concerned with developing fresh theories, policies and practises that recognize the actual way that people, economies and nature interact.' -- C.S. Holling, University of Florida, US
