Complex systems is a new field of science studying how parts of a system give rise to the collective behaviors of the system, and how the system interacts with its environment. This book examines the complex systems involved in environmental sustainability, and examines the technologies involved to help mitigate human impacts, such as renewable energy, desalination, carbon capture, recycling, etc. It considers the relationships and balance between environmental engineering and science, economics, and human activity, with regard to sustainability.

Abstract
The Republic's political discussion begins with the construction of two contrasting cities: a 'healthy' city and a 'city with a fever'; one defined by environmentally sustainable subsistence practices and the other by 'luxurious' over consumption that exceeds the carrying capacity of its land. Plato's characters proceed to cure the inflamed city of its fever, resulting in the delineation of the ideal political constitution, the Kallipolis, which recovers the virtues of the original, healthy city in an altered form. This paper develops an ecological reading of the Republic, highlighting Plato's optimism regarding humans' ability to limit their material consumption in accordance with the limits of the natural world. The conventional interpretation of the Republic's first city, known as 'the city of pigs', is reconsidered in light of new socio-ecological research on traditional resource management systems.
