Description

The Systems View of Life: A Unifying Vision A new systemic conception of life has emerged at the forefront of science, with a growing emphasis on complexity, networks, and patterns of organisation. This book brings together the key ideas, models, and theories underlying the systems view of life into a single coherent framework. The authors take a broad sweep through history and across scientific disciplines, examining the appearance of concepts such as autopoiesis, dissipative structures, social networks, and a systemic understanding of evolution. The implications of the systems view of life for various fields, including healthcare, management, and our global ecological and economic crises, are also discussed. Written for undergraduates, graduate students, and researchers, this book provides a comprehensive understanding of the systems view of life and its implications for a range of professions.
