The Hidden Connections

Capra delves into the interconnectedness of all living (and some nonliving) things, from the earliest forms of life to the development of language, culture, society, spirituality and the global economy. Moving through the evolution of cognition and thought, Capra reexamines Cartesian principles, suggesting that "consciousness is not only a biological, but also a social phenomenom". Reaching the modern age, Capra warns about the depletion of natural resources and encourages awareness of one's connectedness to the network of natural life.
