In this groundbreaking book The Circularity of Life: An Essential Shift for Sustainability, author Jane Cull encourages and inspires readers to a new way of seeing themselves and the world. The book features a unique blend of scientific principles, biological research, and relevant environmental issues backed by extensive research and real life examples.
The Circularity of Life provides a profound understanding of our co-existence on this planet. Cull showcases her understanding of how all living and non-living systems, including human beings are interconnected and mutually interdependent from a variety of perspectives. "In order for humanity to live sustainability on this planet, we must see ourselves and the world differently. We are not separate or removed from the web of life and the planetary cycles that sustain us".
It is an eye opening look into the inescapable reality that we as human beings are interconnected in a vast circular system and to sustain ourselves on this planet, we must sustain the web of life. It is a circular, systems view of life. This will be a whole new way of living and doing business globally involving new concepts, methods and technologies that sustain not only ourselves, but also the web of life.
Drawing on the work of renowned Chilean systems biologist Dr. Humberto Maturana, a pioneer in the biology of cognition, Cull uses the concept of circularity to lay the foundation for this important paradigm shift, where our living and relating becomes based on choosing social and environmental responsibility.
