Book excerpt: In his international bestsellers The Tao of Physics and The Turning Point, Fritjof Capra juxtaposed physics and mysticism to define a new vision of reality. In The Web of Life, he takes yet another giant step forward, describing the interrelationships and interdependence of psychological, biological, physical, social, and cultural phenomena -- "the web of life." A brilliant synthesis of such recent scientific break-throughs as the theory of complexity, Gaia theory, chaos theory, and more, this is cutting-edge science that offers an extraordinary new foundation for ways of thinking about and responding to the universe at our feet.
