Thinking in Systems: A Primer by Donella H. Meadows
4.0

"Let's face it, the universe is messy. It is nonlinear, turbulent, and dynamic. It spends its time in transient behavior on its way to somewhere else, not in mathematically neat equilibria. It self-organizes and evolves. It creates diversity and uniformity. That's what makes the world interesting, that's what makes it beautiful, and that's what make it work."

Meadows was a giant in the early systems thinking world and has influenced generations of systems thinkers. While this is a posthumous publication functioning more as an introduction, it nevertheless contains depth and complexity--quite appropriate for the subject.
