 years, a new systemic conception of life has emerged in the forefront of 
 science. New emphasis has been given to complexity, networks, and patterns 
 of organization, leading to a novel kind of "systemic" thinking.  \n"In my 
 first book," Capra writes, "The Tao of Physics (1975), I discussed the 
 profound change in our worldview that was brought about by the conceptual 
 revolution in physics - a change from the mechanistic worldview of 
 Descartes and Newton to a holistic and ecological view. In my subsequent 
 research and writing, I have engaged in a systematic exploration of a 
 central theme: the fundamental change of worldview, or change of paradigms, 
 that is now also occurring in the other sciences and in society; the 
 unfolding of a new vision of reality, and the social implications of this 
 cultural transformation.  To connect the conceptual changes in science with 
 the change of worldview and values in society, I had to go beyond physics 
 and look for a broader conceptual framework. In doing so, I realized that 
 our major social issues - health, social justice, protection of the 
 environment, the management of business enterprises, and so on - all have 
 to do with living systems: with individual human beings, social systems, 
 and ecosystems. With this realization, my research interests shifted from 
 physics to the life sciences, and over the past thirty years I have 
 developed a conceptual framework that integrates four dimensions of life: 
 the biological, the cognitive, the social, and the ecological. \n\nThis is 
 essential reading for a broad range of professions, including economics, 
 politics, medicine, psychology and law.\n\nFritjof Capra is a Founding
