Ambitiously identifying fresh issues in the study of complex systems, Peter J. Taylor, in a model of interdisciplinary exploration, makes these concerns accessible to scholars in the fields of ecology, environmental science, and science studies. Unruly Complexity explores concepts used to deal with complexity in three realms: ecology and socioenvironmental change; the collective constitution of knowledge; and the interpretations of science as they influence subsequent research.For each realm Taylor shows that unruly complexitysituations that lack definite boundaries, where what goes on 'outside' continually restructures what is 'inside,' and where diverse processes come together to produce changeshould not be suppressed by partitioning complexity into wellbounded systems that can be studied or managed from an outside vantage point. Using case studies from Australia, North America, and Africa, he encourages readers to be troubled by conventional boundariesespecially between science and the interpretation of scienceand to reflect more selfconsciously on the conceptual and practical choices researchers make.
