On Nature, Models, and Simplicity: A response to: Holling. 1998. 'Two Cultures of Ecology'

Abstract

"First, let me apologize for possibly taking too broad a view in this brief discussion, but unfortunately, as I will show, nature is not reasonably separable into thematic chapters. Because each of the topics I am trying to embrace deserves at least the volume of a major treatise, if not its own library, my analysis has to be somewhat incomplete, but comes to full circle nevertheless."
