Inferno
Eminent Harvard symbologist Robert Langdon awakens in a hospital bed with no recollection of how he got there. Nor can he explain origin of ma-cabre object found hidden in his belongings. A threat to his life propels him and young doctor, Sienna Brooks, into a breakneck chase across the city of Florence. With only a few lines from Dante’s dark and epic masterpiece, Inferno, to guide them, they decipher a sequence of codes buried deep within celebrated artefacts of the Renaissance to find answers to a puzzle which may, or may not, help them save the world from a terrifying threat.

The Turning Point
Until recently, our view of the physical universe had been formed, for centuries, by the mechanistic thinking of Descartes and Newton. New scientific concepts have overturned this world view, replacing it with a more holistic and ecological one that has afforded us deep insights into the nature of matter and its relation to the human mind. In this book, Capra takes his ideas further, extending his systems-based approach to include important areas of contemporary life including medicine, psychology, economics, political science and ecology.
