'In a rapidly changing landscape, I've found this to be an authoritative book that frames the challenges that human-environment systems face and the solutions that data science could provide. I was struck by how the book's complex ideas are framed and communicated, making it not only accessible and suitable for those new to the field, but also mandatory reading for those who are experienced and looking for a cutting-edge perspective. Intelligently written and highly relevant, this book successfully bridges the gap between data science and human-environment systems.' Alison Heppenstall, University of Glasgow
