  • Morowitz HJ. (2002) The Emergence of Everything: How the World became Complex. Oxford University Press. ISBN 019513513X. | Book Full-Text. | Book Description; Author Information; Reviews.
    • We are clearly at the beginning of viewing science from the new perspective of emergence. I believe that it will provide insights into the evolutionary unfolding of our universe, our solar system, our biota, and our humanity.
    • "Morowitz has provided the first state-of-the-art overview of the theory of emergence across the scientific disciplines." —Philip Clayton, Harvard University
    • This book has a pronouncedly theological cast as evidenced, for example, by this quotation (far from unusual): "If we identify the immanent God, the mysterious laws of nature, with God the father, then emergence will be the efficient operation of that God, which Christianity views as the Holy Spirit. We will come back to these ideas in more detail later." Morowitz, (pp. 23-24)
