内容説明

This book is a contribution to a renewed worldwide interest in macro evolutionary perspectives. Many writers over the last decade have made significant contributions to an emerging paradigm that provides common frameworks of evolution across several hitherto unconnected domains. As the price of working in the Third World, some of these contributions were unknown to the author till after the completion of a first draft of this manuscript.
