This unique book ranges across the physical, biological and social
sciences in the development of its primary theme, that there are
nine major 'integrative levels' which can be recognised. The term
integrative levels was first used by Joseph Needham in 1937 and has
two key features. The first is that members of a given integrative
level are unified entities and the second is that a member of one
level is commonly composed of parts which are members of the next
lower level. Thus fundamental particles form Level 1 while Level 9
is that of sovereign states. This theme has been developed by Max
Pettersson in a book which explores the many links between the
physical, biological and social sciences, reaching wide-ranging and
sometimes unexpected conclusions.
