Gregory Bateson's legendary UCSC lectures on " ecology of mind" are brought together in print for the first time in this unique volume. Based on newly transcribed recordings from the 1970s, The Course follows Bateson as he explores pattern, communication and relationship across biology, language, culture and politics. Moving between blackboard diagrams, classroom exercises and wide-ranging stories, he invites students to see life as a web of interconnected systems. Essential reading for anyone engaged with systems thinking, ecology and education.
