reflection<br />
This manuscript combines an array of authors’ talents <strong>and</strong> perspectives<br />
in this growing field. Each chapter includes a scholarly response to further<br />
inform the ontological <strong>and</strong> epistemological underpinnings of this dynamic<br />
science, integrating the science of unitary human beings, complex caring<br />
<strong>and</strong> human inquiry, <strong>and</strong> the complexity of the dynamics of human caring.<br />
The multiple authors bring together <strong>and</strong> unify deep dimensions, which<br />
invite personal <strong>and</strong> professional reflective scholarship <strong>and</strong> philosophical <strong>and</strong><br />
theoretical integration that is combined into a new synthesis of underst<strong>and</strong>ing<br />
for nursing <strong>and</strong> health care.<br />
These diverse chapters <strong>and</strong> the multiple authors’ foci help one to grasp<br />
the relevance as well as the ironic complexity of disease, illness, <strong>and</strong> caring<br />
systems as well as treatment approaches projecting the reader into technological,<br />
electronic documentation, <strong>and</strong> the future of humanoid relationships<br />
in nursing <strong>and</strong> complexity science(s).<br />
Such a comprehensive collection of work in the field of a unitary model<br />
of complexity is a testimony to the importance of this work <strong>and</strong> how it both<br />
grounds <strong>and</strong> transcends conventional views of science <strong>and</strong> reality <strong>and</strong> opens<br />
up new horizons of unitary visions. This collected scholarship in this area<br />
will inform the personal/professional evolution of caring <strong>and</strong> nursing in this<br />
century <strong>and</strong> beyond, inviting new visions of the evolved human in the world<br />
of practice, education, research, administration, <strong>and</strong> clinical care. It is truly<br />
a visionary futuristic manifesto for this time in nursing <strong>and</strong> health sciences<br />
at all levels.<br />
