Small Arcs of Larger Circles. Framing through other patterns

In Small Arcs of Larger Circles, Nora Bateson invites us to weave together the rigor of systems theory and complexity thinking with the expansiveness of our embodied, aesthetic experience. In the process she introduces us-quite literally-to a new language of contextual, mutual learning. Anyone who has seen Nora Bateson's award-winning film "An Ecology of Mind" will know that-as well as honouring her father's work-it signaled her arrival as a thinker and artist in her own right.
Now, in Small Arcs she adds to these the voices of researcher, mother, intellectual, storyteller, analyst, policy adviser, and poet.

This collection is an intergenerational exploration of ideas within a family whose concern for the delicate interdependencies of life at all levels has inspired an ongoing intellectual, artistic, and intimate inquiry : Nora Bateson's grandfather, William, was Professor of Biology at Cambridge University and proposed the term `genetics' in 1906. Her father, Gregory, is known around the world as a ground-breaking anthropologist, philosopher, systems thinker, and cyberneticist.
And sure enough, the voice of the next generation is here too-with the Foreword written by the author's daughter, Sahra Bateson Brubeck.
