Book Title: The Web of Life: A New Scientific Understanding of Living Systems

Author: Fritjof Capra

Selection Statement:

Capra influenced the way I perceive causal and binary results, and expanded my vision to examine relationships between and among possible options. Inspired by Chief Seattle, he says, "This we know. All things are connected ... Whatever befalls the earth, befalls the sons and daughters of the earth. We are a strand in the web of life." I see connections in interdisciplinary research by using systems thinking; and this book has inspired my career in qualitative and mixed methods research.
