She is the daughter of Gregory Bateson and president of the International Bateson Institute (IBI). Building on Gregory Bateson's famous book Towards an Ecology of Mind and her own film on the subject, Nora Bateson here updates our thinking on systems and ecosystems, applying her own insights and those of her team at IBI to education, organisations, complexity, academia, and the way that society organizes itself. She also introduces the term symmathesy to describe the contextual mutual learning through interaction that takes place in living entities at larger or smaller scales. While she retains her father's rigorous attention to definition, observation and academic precision, she also moves well beyond that frame of reference to incorporate more embodied ways of knowing and understanding. These are reflected in her essays and poems on food, Christmas, love, honesty, environmentalism and leadership. [Subject: Systems thinking, education, social anthropology, environmentalism, Bateson, symmathesy] ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #4,022 in Society & Culture (Books) | | Dimensions | 15.88 x 1.78 x 23.5 cm | | Edition | 2nd | | Importer | Bookswagon, 2/13 Ansari Road, Daryaganj, New Delhi 110002, sales@bookswagon.com, 01140159253 | | Isbn 10 | 1909470961 | | Isbn 13 | 978-1909470965 | | Item Weight | 1 kg 50 g | | Language | English | | Packer | Bookswagon, 2/13 Ansari Road, Daryaganj, New Delhi 110002, sales@bookswagon.com, 01140159253 | | Print Length | 210 pages | | Publication Date | 30 September 2016 | | Publisher | Triarchy Press | ## Images ![Small Arcs of Larger Circles - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61Sx9WoBERS.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Format** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Expression of unparalleled nature *by on Reviewed in India 29 December 2018* This work of Nora has created in me a novel crisis of expression. She shows me a way to use words to capture ideas in an emergence of flexibility and dexterity that holds up life. Unexpected genre and yet cumulative and generative. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Ottimo *by on Reviewed in Italy 30 December 2019* Un libro che fa riflettere sul senso della vita. Davvero bello. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Embracing the complexities and wholeness. *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 27 November 2017* I sometimes hold a notion that an anthology of poems might be the way to map the universe in its diversity. Each small piece would capture aspects, yet the anthology holds together the myriad ways the poems explore things in a unity that is sometimes clear, sometimes less so. This book might be considered that anthology.Nora Bateson writes with the intention of carrying on a family tradition. Her father was the anthropologist and cyberneticist, Gregory Bateson who sometimes talked about the "path which connects. Her work includes a film about him. In the book she talks about this and her grandfather William Beteson who was a Professor of Biology at Cambridge with achievements of his own, and how she is continuing to expand this legacy. But of course she is aiming for more.The essays and poems in this book look at a range of matters from ecology, philosophy, economics as well as experience of body, attitudes to nature, the complexities of human nature, bringing up children, rape and science. Many of the poems and prose poems capture moments, feelings and dillemas. In short this is a stunning survey of the contemporary existence written with a stunning brevity and precision. Each one is an arc of the larger circle which each piece is a fragment of.Such diversity perhaps has a problem that read as a whole it risks becoming too diffuse. But this is no more than any other anthology of verse or articles. The book it self could either be read as a whole or dipped in at random, like such volumes. There is scarcely a dud. This is a book to keep at one's side for a lifetime of wealth. There is much to enjoy here as well as a large sum of enlightenment. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.no/products/172191012-small-arcs-of-larger-circles](https://www.desertcart.no/products/172191012-small-arcs-of-larger-circles) --- *Product available on Desertcart Norway* *Store origin: NO* *Last updated: 2026-09-17*
