520    The role of parents in shaping the characters of their 
       children, the causes of violence and crime, and the roots 
       of personal unhappiness are central to humanity. Like so 
       many fundamental questions about human existence, these 
       issues all relate to behavioural development. In this 
       lucid and accessible book, eminent biologist Professor Sir
       Patrick Bateson suggests that the nature/nurture dichotomy
       we often use to think about questions of development in 
       both humans and animals is misleading. Instead, he argues 
       that we should pay attention to whole systems, rather than
       to simple causes, when trying to understand the complexity
       of development.  In his wide-ranging approach Bateson 
       discusses why so much behaviour appears to be well-
       designed. He explores issues such as ‘imprinting’ and its 
       importance to the attachment of offspring to their 
       parents; the mutual benefits that characterise 
       communication between parent and offspring; the importance
       of play in learning how to choose and control the optimal 
       conditions in which to thrive; and the vital function of 
       adaptability in the interplay between development and 
       evolution.  Bateson disputes the idea that a simple link 
       can be found between genetics and behaviour. What an 
       individual human or animal does in its life depends on the
       reciprocal nature of its relationships with the world 
       about it. This knowledge also points to ways in which an 
       animal’s own behaviour can provide the variation that 
       influences the subsequent course of evolution.  This has 
       relevance not only for our scientific approaches to the 
       systems of development and evolution, but also on how 
       humans change institutional rules that have become 
       dysfunctional, or design public health measures when 
       mismatches occur between themselves and their 
       environments. It affects how we think about ourselves and 
       our own capacity for change. [Elib]
