Written by an experienced practitioner,\u003ci\u003e The Goal Structuring Notation\u003c\/i\u003e is both for those who wish to prepare and present compelling arguments using the notation, and for those who wish to review such arguments critically and effectively.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTo emphasise the versatility of this approach\u003ci\u003e The Goal Structuring Notation\u003c\/i\u003e presents examples and questions based on diverse subject areas including Business Management, Drama, Engineering, Politics and Astrobiology. Simple examples introduce each symbol of the notation before introducing more complex structures which illustrate how the symbols work together in practical scenarios. To aid learning, questions and problems augment the text, so that the reader may reflect upon and try out the new concepts and principles presented.  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs a comprehensive instruction in the basics of GSN and it’s application, \u003ci\u003eThe Goal Structuring Notation \u003c\/i\u003ealso serves as a references or manual for the practitioner to dip into as problems are encountered or as a key resource for engineers working in those industries  which require a clear description of the notation, covering the initial principles and showing why each piece of the notation is necessary.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOriginally developed to present safety assurance arguments, GSN need not be so restricted.
