The systems view of life : a unifying vision

by Fritjof Capra, Pier Luisi

This volume presents a systemic conception of life, integrating theories of complexity, networks, and patterns of organisation. It explores the history of these concepts and examines their application to health care, management, and global ecological challenges.

brief_description
Integrates the ideas, models, and theories underlying the systems view of life into a single coherent framework. Taking a broad sweep through history and across scientific disciplines, the authors examine the appearance of key concepts such as autopoiesis, dissipative structures, social networks, and a systemic understanding of evolution.
