Vanderburg's Our War on Ourselves explores the type of war we have unleashed on our lives by emphasizing discipline-based processes.

| 520 | |a "Our approach to knowing and doing is based on delegating physical phenomena to physicists, biological phenomena to biologists, social phenomena to sociologists, economic phenomena to economists, and so on.

As a result, our civilization succeeds in its scientific and technical endeavours yet fails in dealing with communities and ecosystems. | ||
