Book Description

0275964094 978-0275964092 June 30, 1998

The overriding challenge for our species during the 21st century, many believe, will be that of evolving...or becoming extinct. Can the theory of evolution be expanded into a source of guidance that could help our species save itself? This collection brings together the thinking of scholars in a wide range of fields in social as well as natural science directed to this end.

Moving beyond a critique of neo-Darwinism and sociobiology to explore the action implications of new theory—including Loye's reconstruction of the long ignored full vision of Charles Darwin and Laszlo's new QVI fifth field theory— essays explore the potential for the impact of self-organizing and self-regulating organism, of the biology of love, and the moral directional thrust of the human, as revealed in new discoveries in the fields of biology, psychology, brain research, sociology, economics, history, cultural evolution, and Darwinian re-evaluation. As such, the collection will be of interest to the educational community, the futurist community, and the more general global foresight community of concerned people.

More About the Author

My books span my life from early years as a television newsman in the Edward R. Murrow days to my pivotal shift to science and pioneering evolution theory. My first book was the national award-winning The Healing of a Nation. Currently, my widely acclaimed reconstruction of Darwin's Lost Theory spearheads a global movement to shift from the old Darwinism of survival of the fittest and selfish genes to the new scientific, political, economic, and religious reality of Darwin's long ignored actual emphasis on moral sensitivity, love, and education as the prime drivers for human evolution.

In between is a rippling stream of books on psychology, the future, travel, humor, adventure, even a past life murder mystery (Return to Amalfi),and--besides the forthcoming Darwin in Love--others exploring the best of all world of love.

Many of my books are dedicated to my wife and partner, best-selling author Riane Eisler (The Chalice and the Blade). 3,000 Years of Love is an unusual joint biography of our life together. 100 Days of Love and 1001 Days of Love are my love poems to date--which at 158 I like to think are already four more than 154 for Shakespeare's famous love sonnets!
