The Science of Open Spaces
Book •
Charles G. Curtin's The Science of Open Spaces presents perspectives on managing and conserving large, interconnected landscapes using principles from complexity science.
Drawing on Curtin's applied research, the book examines how ecological processes operate across scales and the implications for conservation strategies.
It highlights collaborations between scientists and land managers and emphasizes adaptive management approaches.
The work served as an earlier foundation for Curtin's subsequent books that further develop concepts of resilience and place-based interventions.
It is positioned for practitioners and a general audience interested in landscape-scale conservation.
