mind and nature, gregory Bateson, 1st, 1979, Wildwood
True 1st edition, 1979 Book is in a great condition but there is some light highlighting through it. – Mind and Nature: A Necessary Unity (1979) by Gregory Bateson is a foundational text in cybernetics, systems theory, and philosophy that bridges the artificial gap between the human mind and the biological world. Bateson argues that the processes governing human thought and the processes governing biological evolution are identical—both are patterns of information processing, or “mind”.The book is significant for pioneering the idea that mental processes do not stop at the skull; they extend out into ecosystems.
