All</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=202051714-01102005>This is by way of an
e-introduction to make up for my being unable to make it from Scotland for your
initial meeting. I believe Ian has mentioned that I am exploring a collaboration
on an extended project on "world modelling". This may sound rather grand but the
idea is that sustainability as a field is as much victim of specialisation as
any other domain of human knowledge and so keeping the big picture, the holistic
view is difficult. Systems thinking, pattern thinking and conceptual mapping
methods can all help in this area. I have developed an approach (very early
days, I might add) to taking off from where the Club of Rome seems to have left
off since King and Schneider's work "The First Global Revolution". I hope by the
end of this year to have a prototype framework which can be shared and which
will serve as a kind of holistic fishing net for correlating and referencing the
many issue focused works and findings going on. I hope it will also prove to be
a useful collaborative tool for research strategy.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=202051714-01102005>I aim to be down for
the lectures at the end of October and hope a run into some of
you!</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
