Reviews

""I like books that take on big topics and expertly synthesize understandings from diverse fields. Carpenter deals with the whole world and explores how we can best understand this as an ""ecology of information."" He shows how such an approach guides us to ask new questions about our world."" -- Rick Szostak, University of Alberta, Canada ""An all-encompassing attempt to conceptualize unity, diversity, and complexity in contemporary contexts. An important brick in the emerging building of memetics. This project is as ambitious as that of Vernadsky’s Noosphere."" -- Thorsten Botz-Bornstein, Professor of Philosophy, Gulf University of Science and Technology, Kuwait
