This is a collection of Systems Thinking resources that I have collected, along with related posts from the Pathways to New Community Paradigms blog (which require additional editing). "Understanding Systems" is the most recent contribution. Systems thinking approaches are seen as being more theoretical while systems thinking applications are seen as being more practical. As stated on the Front Page of this wiki, maintenance has been lagging so some links might not work.
