Held in Motion
How Rivers, Brains, and Living Systems Stay Whole by Changing
How does anything stay whole when everything inside it is changing?
A river keeps its shape while its water passes through. A song remains recognizable across performances. Our lives, too, depend on patterns that endure through change.
In Held in Motion, Jason Moon follows that question through living systems, neuroscience, ecology, and music. Written for curious readers, the book explores what sustains a person, a community, or an idea—and when the structures that support us need to change.
