Mind and Nature by Gregory Bateson
 My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Patterns that connect. One frequently hears phrases such as everything in the world is connected to everything else but rarely do we find much in the way of discussion. Gregory Bateson was the epitome of the multidisciplinarian. He could not be pigeonholed in any particular field of study but he could recognize the most significant aspects of each and demonstrate how they all connect together.

I must admit here that he is far and away beyond my own level of comprehension. I must continually reread and reassess every time I read any of his works. This includes the dialogues Catherine Bateson published (my copy is currently buried in a storage shed). I have not seen the film produced by Nora Bateson, but would love to someday.
