The Web Of Life by Fritjof Capra

A New Scientific Understanding of Living Systems

A synthesis of contemporary scientific ideas that reframes life as a network of interdependent relationships rather than a collection of isolated parts, integrating insights from systems thinking, complexity and chaos theory, cybernetics, autopoiesis, dissipative structures, and Gaia to present an ecological paradigm of living systems. It explains how organisms self-organize, sustain themselves through patterns, processes, and feedback loops, and coevolve within their environments, and explores practical implications for health, education, organizational design, and sustainability.
