Description
A very long revolution -- A long time coming : the complexity revolution -- "That eye-on-the-object look" : complex culture and the passionate structure of tacit knowledge -- Intimations : nested enfoldings : stages in knowing -- Perfused with signs : biosemiotics and human sociality -- The importance of creativity.

It shows that through looking at the complex emergence of human society and culture, we can get a better understanding of how 'the whole creature' operates
