About the Author

Dr Elisabet Sahtouris is an evolutionary biologist, futurist, author, and consultant to organisations. In her unique approach, called ‘Living Systems Design’, she applies the principles of biology and evolution to organisational development so that organisations may become more functional, healthy ‘living systems’, with increased resilience, stability, and cooperation. She is one of a select group of scientists rethinking the classic, mechanistic view of the universe. Her particular goal is to create sustainable health and well-being for humanity within the larger living systems of Earth.
