Gaia: The Human Journey from Chaos to Cosmos

I think this book has the best comprehensive over-view of humanity's place in the unfolding evolution of life on earth.It shows that our species is in the midst of choosing to fulfill it's potential or by default, self-destruct. It clearly shows that our choices that we are making now are decisive. It also makes clear that we already have and know everything we need to not only survive and prosper, but to facilitate the same for all of our fellow creatures and earth itself. Our time is running out and, as this book shows, the world will go on perfectly well without us. We are a new "big-brain" experiment in the dance of life...one that is blessed/cursed with having to choose our destiny.

Although out of print in its original title "Gaia...", it is now available as "Earthdance; Living Systems in Evolution."Contact life@igc.org for ordering info.Excellent book written in user-friendly language that shows how we can better model our social systems after natural systems; which has had billions of years to work out the kinks. Highly recommended.
