Acceptance, Rejection, and the Tightening Feedback Loop: A response to: Holling. 2001. 'Conservation Ecology, 2001: A Journal for Both Authors and Readers'

Abstract

"Does Holling (2001) really mean to say that novel ideas are only rarely resisted or ignored? It seems to me that most, if not all, novel ideas are not only resisted and ignored but also vigorously opposed; this applies to 'small' ideas as well as 'large' ones."
