BACK COVER #
In this eclectic and interdisciplinary work, chaos pioneer Ralph Abraham traces the history of consciousness through a rediscovery of the three forces that drive it: chaos, gaia, and eros--the mind, body, and spirit of evolution. With startling originality and clarity of vision, Abraham employs photographs, timelines, charts, and an engaging format to sweep the reader along on this wild ride through math, science, mythology, and philosophy, and the whole of history.B

"This extraordinary work is a veritable Rosetta stone, unlocking the past, present, and future."-- Joan Halifax, author of The Fruitful Darkness
"[Ralph Abraham has] his own highly original ideas about the application of chaos theory to changes in history and consciousness, making for a rich and provacative blend."
-- Riane Eisler, author of The Chalice and the Blade
"Ralph Abraham is the most readable and delightful of mathematical pioneers. He is in the great tradition of Poincare and Whitehead, a true mathematical humanist. Chaos, Gaia, Eros is destined to be a voice shaping the new millennium."
-- Terence McKenna, author of True Hallucinations, The Invisible Landscape, Archaic Revival, and Food of the Gods
