Gibson: How to Do Systems Analysis: Primer and Casebook    

Presents the foundational systemic thinking needed to conceive systems that address complex socio-technical problems. This book emphasizes the underlying systems analysis components and associated thought processes. The authors describe an approach that is appropriate for complex systems in diverse disciplines complemented by a case-based pedagogy for teaching systems analysis that includes numerous cases that can be used to teach both the art and methods of systems analysis. 

Haimes: Risk Modeling, Assessment, and Management, 4th Edition   

Systems-based theory, methodology, and applications in risk modeling, assessment, and management. This book examines risk analysis, focusing on quantifying risk and constructing probabilities for real-world decision-making, including engineering, design, technology, institutions, organizations, and policy.

Haimes: Modeling and Managing Interdependent Complex Systems of Systems   

Examines the complexity of, and the risk to, emergent interconnected and interdependent complex systems of systems in the natural and the constructed environment, and in its critical infrastructures. For systems modelers, this book focuses on what constitutes complexity and how to understand, model and manage it.

Handley: A Framework of Human Systems Engineering: Applications and Case Studies   

A guide to identifying and improving methods to integrate human concerns into the conceptualization and design of systems. With contributions from a panel of noted experts on the topic, the book presents a series of Human Systems Engineering (HSE) applications on a wide range of topics: interface design, training requirements, personnel capabilities and limitations, and human task allocation.

INCOSE: INCOSE Systems Engineering Handbook: A Guide for System Life Cycle Processes and Activities, 4th Edition   

A detailed and thorough reference on the discipline and practice of systems engineering

The objective of the International Council on Systems Engineering (INCOSE) Systems Engineering Handbook is to describe key process activities performed by systems engineers and other engineering professionals throughout the life cycle of a system. This book covers a wide range of fundamental system concepts that broaden the thinking of the systems engineering practitioner, such as system thinking, system science, life cycle management, specialty engineering, system of systems, and agile and iterative methods. It also defines the discipline and practice of systems engineering for students and practicing professionals alike, providing an authoritative reference that is acknowledged worldwide.

Jackson: Critical Systems Thinking and the Management of Complexity

Making use of over 25 case studies, the book offers an account of the development of systems thinking and of major efforts to apply the approach in real-world interventions. Further, it encourages the widespread use of critical systems practice as a means of ensuring responsible leadership in a complex world.
