ABSTRACT
I met Fritjof Capra in Berkeley at the Center for Ecoliteracy which he cofounded and which aims to “foster a profound understanding of the natural world, grounded in direct experience, that leads to sustainable patterns of living.” They offer many grants and programs to K-12 schools. At the time, we were meeting with students from Common Ground, a school-within-a-school at Berkeley high that had been funded by the center. Fritjof has an intensity that is in accord with his reputation as a physicist and one of the leading figures in explaining systems theory and science to lay people. Author of the Tao of Physics, The Turning Point, The Web of Life and, recently, The Hidden Connections, Fritjof has decisively explained the interconnectedness of life.
