Fritjof Capra, scientist, educator, activist, and accomplished author, presents the evolution of his thought over five decades in Patterns of Connection. First introduced in the late 1950s to the work of Werner Heisenberg, a founder of quantum mechanics, Capra quickly intuited the connections between the discoveries of quantum physics and the traditions of Eastern philosophy-resulting in his first book, the bestselling The Tao of Physics. This synthesis, representative of the change from the mechanistic worldview of Descartes and Newton to a systemic, ecological one, went on to inform Capra's thinking about the life sciences, ecology, and environmental policy.
Today Fritjof Capra remains a major figure at the crossroads of physics, spirituality, environmentalism, and systems theory. Organized thematically and chronologically, the essays in Patterns of Connection document the revolutionary and far-reaching intellectual journey of one of the major public thinkers of the last half-century.

It is becoming increasingly clear that old ways of thinking that we have been accustomed to for a long time are not sufficient to solve the many problems in society that we are facing. The systems thinking that Fritjof Capra proposes can help us to arrive at a new way of thinking, which will hopefully enable us to better tackle these problems. The essays provide a good overview of the development of his thinking. However, I do think that the material could be better edited. Sometimes certain passages seem to be literally repeated in another essay, which can be a bit annoying at times.
