First sentence: The boat rocks gently to the rhythmic beat of waves against its hull.
Description: This book is about the cosmic order. It is therefore about the System of organization that underlies the whole of experience. It is about the creative process and the whole of creation.
	In the main, humanity’s scientific and spiritual pursuits have led to divergent perspectives of creation. The System that is introduced here indicates that these two pursuits are essential complements of one another in our search for an understanding of our natural heritage through an evolutionary record that reaches back billions of years. The deciphering of the System can help us to read the record, not only in the biosphere, the planets, the stars, and distant galaxies, but also in the structure of our bodies and in the workings of our nervous systems. The System can help us to see our part and place in relation to the whole.
Notes: The book should be of interest to any reasonably informed reader who has ever seriously reflected on the meaning of life. It should be of special interest to any who have followed the dialogue of science, even in a modest way. The book, however, is not confined to science. It clarifies how we integrate everyday experience, and how this relates to our evolution in the biosphere. It includes a review of history, it touches on ancient systems of understanding, and it assesses the problems of organization in the business world. Most important the book is about the wilderness and fishing.
