From the smallest to the largest living systems, from cells and bacteria to the human body to ecosystems to the planet as a whole, readers will learn how it is all connected. For students of sustainability of all ages looking to envision a new Big Picture, The Life World explores very different assumptions about how evolution works in living systems. Just Three Principles of Life are used to accomplish this both simple and yet most challenging paradigm change. Not satisfied with outlining this new philosophy alone, the author tackles its application to the Florida Everglades, global warming, pollution, and human health.Prepare to be surprised.Prepare to see the world differently.Begin the work of true sustainability as a "W'ecologist."
