About this book

This book challenges the ideas of our modern scientific culture and its far-reaching consequences for how we understand and relate to the natural world.

The author argues for a view of nature as complex, interrelated networks of relationships. He proposes that, in order for us to once again work with nature to achieve true sustainability on our planet, we need to adopt a new science, new art, new design, new economics and new patterns of responsibility. We must be willing to pay nature its due: to recognise what we owe to the natural world and resist exploiting it solely for our own ends.

Media reviews
'This remarkable book is Brian Goodwin's biological testament, summing up the work he has been doing throughout his career since the 1960s along with the many major scientific advances since that period ... In understanding nature more deeply, we understand ourselves more profoundly. This book is a brilliant articulation of this process, pointing to the emergence of a new culture of co-operation and harmony.' -- David Lorimer, Scientific and Medical Network Review, Summer 2007 'Superb ... highly recommended.' -- Yoga Scotland, September 2007 'Goodwin's book holds in it the excitement of new beginnings. It reads like a primer for the Great Work. It has a breath-taking range of scholarship that takes the reader on a journey of discovery through cultural history, scientific history, paradigm change, modern systems theory, chaos theory, evolutionary biology and a new field called biological hermeneutics.' -- Edmund O'Sullivan, Resurgence, November-December 2007 'Thought-provoking, clearly conceived vision of health in individuals, communities and ecosystems. A call for a more integrated, holistic approach to how we view and understand our world ... words of wisdom during our global crises.' -- New Leaf News, Spring 2009 'Nature's Due is a fascinating and important book. It's one of those books that can frunish you with serviceable building blocks for a worldview.' -- www.greenprophet.com
