New emphasis has been given to complexity  networks  and patterns of organisation  leading to a novel kind of systemic thinking. This volume integrates the ideas  models  and theories underlying the systems view of life into a single coherent framework. Taking a broad sweep through history and across scientific disciplines  the authors examine the appearance of key concepts such as autopoiesis  dissipative structures  social networks  and a systemic understanding of evolution. The implications of the systems view of life for health care  management  and our global ecological and economic crises are also discussed. Written primarily for undergraduates  it is also essential reading for graduate students and researchers interested in understanding the new systemic conception of life and its implications for a broad range of professions - from economics and politics to medicine  psychology and law.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45666340798517,"sku":"ByrdShop_1107011361","price":41.63,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781107011366.jpg?v=1782428803","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/the-systems-view-of-life-a-unifying-vision-9781107011366","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
