"""Any book that helps demolish the stubbornly ingrained gospel of Cartesian bifurcation is, indeed, welcome. This book is a fairly major contribution to this deconstruction project not only in exposing Cartesian fallacies, but also suggesting positive, practical ways of putting 'Humpty Dumpty back together again.' . . . The essays in this book will challenge many 'hide-bound' academics' stale and outmoded paradigms, and certainly make most readers sit up and think very seriously about the future direction of their research."" -- ""Leonardo"""
