Hi,
I thought I'd put together the list of books you've all generated so far for future reference. I would just add one more to the list which I've entered below.

Best wishes,
Niall Palfreyman.

Ford, A.: "Modeling the Environment" - Great for starting to apply SD to messy, real-world systems.

> Meadows, D.: "The Global Citizen" - specifically the opening section on System Dynamics Meets the Press. For how the everyday is re-understood from a systems point of view, this is without parallel.
> Forrester, J.: "World Dynamics" specifically chapter one and chapter seven (The Epilogue). I read this, really read it, the equations, too, after working with system dynamics for a few years, and that was about the right time.
> Sweeney, L.B.: "When a Butterfly Sneezes" - a clear primer on the nature of systems.
