SYSTEMS MYSTERIES FOR CHILDREN AND
ADULTS: THE BILLIBONK SERIES
 Where
better than a jungle to explore the fascinating intricacies
of systems and their structures? While stimulating for adults,
these complex, richly detailed mysteries are also the very
best introduction to systems thinking for children age 9 or
older. Plus, it's just plain fun to accompany the inquisitive
Billibonk the elephant and his mouse mentor, Frankl, as they
tackle the thorniest (and itchiest!) problems in the Jungle
of Knith. Better put on your systems thinking cap!
Don't miss the reader's guides that accompany each volume—these
guides "walk" you through the systems lessons in the
stories and show you how you, your children, and your organization
can benefit from the deeper lessons that Billibonk's adventures
have to offer.

HUMAN
DYNAMICS
 Based
on extensive research and field-testing involving over 40,000
people from more than 25 cultures, Human Dynamics is a powerful
framework for understanding the distinct ways that different
people process information, learn, communicate, relate, manifest
stress, maintain well-being, and develop as human beings. At
the heart of Human Dynamics are the three universal principles
we all share in different capacities—mental, emotional,
and physical—fundamental threads that cross culture, age,
race, and gender to unify us all. As we learn to appreciate
our commonalities and differences, we can apply our new understanding
in order to elevate team learning, strengthen organizational
performance, and communicate more effectively.

SYSTEM DYNAMICS
 System
dynamics, the foundation of systems thinking, demystifies
the powerful forces at work in the systems all around us—from
the workplace to human communities to the global ecology.
In its simplest sense, system dynamics focuses on the flow
of feedback (information that is transmitted and returned)
that occurs throughout the parts of a system—and the
system behaviors that result from those flows. For example,
system dynamicists study reinforcing processes—feedback
flows that generate exponential growth or collapse—and
balancing processes—feedback flows that help a system
maintain stability.
In addition, system dynamicists study the impact of delay on
systemic behavior. Perhaps the most exciting thing about system
dynamics is that it focuses on computer simulation modeling—using
special software programs to figure out how a system's behavior
might play out over time if you implement certain changes. These
programs thus let you "test flight" your ideas—without
crashing your business!
The
titles in this series, authored by leading thinkers and practitioners,
have long served as the core texts in this important field,
and are now available from Pegasus Communications, Inc.
