In his international bestsellers \u003ci\u003eThe Tao of Physics\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe Turning Point, \u003c\/i\u003e he juxtaposed physics and mysticism to define a new vision of reality. In \u003ci\u003eThe Web of Life, \u003c\/i\u003e Capra takes yet another giant step, setting forth a new scientific language to describe interrelationships and interdependence of psychological, biological, physical, social, and cultural phenomena--the \"web of life.\" \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDuring the past twenty-five years, scientists have challenged conventional views of evolution and the organization of living systems and have developed new theories with revolutionary philosophical and social implications. Fritjof Capra has been at the forefront of this revolution. In \u003ci\u003eThe Web of Life, \u003c\/i\u003e Capra offers a brilliant synthesis of such recent scientific breakthroughs as the theory of complexity, Gaia theory, chaos theory, and other explanations of the properties of organisms, social systems, and ecosystems. Capra's surprising findings stand in stark contrast to accepted paradigms of mechanism and Darwinism and provide an extraordinary new foundation for ecological policies that will allow us to build and sustain communities without diminishing the opportunities for future generations. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNow available in paperback for the first time, \u003ci\u003eThe Web of Life\u003c\/i\u003e is cutting-edge science writing in the tradition of James Gleick's \u003ci\u003eChaos, \u003c\/i\u003e Gregory Bateson's \u003ci\u003eMind and Matter, \u003c\/i\u003e and Ilya Prigogine's \u003ci\u003eOrder Out of Chaos.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Fritjof Capra\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Anchor Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/15\/1997\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 368\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.6lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.20w x 0.80d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780385476768","brand":"Anchor Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45463159046281,"sku":"9780385476768","price":17.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0636\/9240\/6921\/files\/img_76d94f02-ee59-47b2-9f8b-158d3b7cba1b.jpg?v=1774998460","url":"https:\/\/sonsanddaughtersbooks.com\/products\/the-web-of-life-a-new-scientific-understanding-of-living-systems-9780385476768","provider":"Sons and Daughters Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
