Scale Theory: A Nondisciplinary Inquiry Dicaglio Joshua
A pioneering call for a new understanding of scale across the humanitiesHow is it possible that you are--simultaneously--cells, atoms, a body, quarks, a component in an ecological network, a moment in the thermodynamic dispersal of the sun, and an element in the gravitational whirl of galaxies? How do we find ourselves with these disorienting layers of scale? In this way, we routinely transform reality into things already outside of direct human experience, things we hardly comprehend even as we speak of DNA, climate effects, toxic molecules, and viruses.
Enter Scale Theory, which provides a foundational theory of scale that explains how scale works, the parameters of scalar thinking, and how scale refigures reality--that teaches us how to think in terms of scale, no matter where our interests may lie.Joshua DiCaglio takes us on a fascinating journey
