Light and Quantum Biophysics in the 21st Century: Cultures that revere and sustainably harvest Sunlight - Paperback

by Anne E. Whittingham (Author)

As photonics becomes to the 21st century what electronics was to the 20th century, Anne proposes a new 'Light Garden' model for creating a living future in which the growth of living organisms and Life processes themselves, rather than machines, are placed at the center of the next wave of humanity's local and international cooperative efforts.Referring to multiple cultural metaphors of light from around the globe, Anne explains in an illustrated, well referenced, easy to read format how quantum biophysics has been found to be better than earlier schools of thought in explaining the behaviour of light, energy fields, waves, electromagnetism and the way in which living organisms regulate their growth, repair, reproduction and collaborative existence on planet Earth. Applying these principles and drawing upon her four decades of experience and professional qualifications in the fields of science, cultural heritage, landscape design and environmental planning, Anne then gives examples of how many 21st century cultures, rather than continuing to deplete the natural resources of the Earth, are actually rejuvenating the living systems, in both practical and spiritual terms.
