“If you ever wondered how to make science relevant for decision-making and human behavior, and how to help scientists understand what stakeholders want—read this book. Participatory, collaborative, mediated, institutionalized, team-centered modeling and planning, from simple to complex, from theory to practice, from military veterans to farmers, from Zimbabwe to Illinois, from playing to drinking—it’s all here for you to explore.”—ALEXEY VOINOV, Distinguished Professor and Director of the Centre on Persuasive Systems for Wise Adaptive Living, University of Technology Sydney, Australia
