Abstract/Notes: Inspired by Baiba Krumins-Grazzini's interdependencies lecture at NAMTA's Portland conference, David Kahn shows the unifying structures of the program that are rooted in the natural and social sciences. Through a connective web, these sciences explore the integration of all knowledge and lead to a philosophical view of life on earth, including human civilization. Kahn adds a new recognition of unified ecological summits that provide the real connectedness to the work that the next generation is doing to find global collaboration in making the world a better place.
