Levins (1930-2016) was an ecologist, evolutionary biologist,
biomathematician, philosopher of science, complexity theorist, Marxist,
and one-time tropical farmer. Key to all aspects of his thinking was a
dialectical logic of process and change. His work provides a framework
for the understanding of crises in environment and society and their
analytic relationship with capitalism and imperialism, as well as the
tools for the critique of biological determinist justifications for the
existing structures of power. This collection of essays pays tribute to
Levins by carrying forward his work in the development of the
understanding of the dialectics of nature and society.
The book includes an introduction by John Vandermeer and chapters by
Antonio Bodini, Douglas Boucher, David Bruck, Luis Fernando Chaves,
