3,000 YEARS OF LOVE "In this book I have brought together a private
and a public story. Some may say that, as convention dictates, I
should have kept the two properly apart. I can only answer that
love in its actuality, rather than the pale mirroring usually
allowed us, knows no such boundaries. And surely, if ever stories
of love were and still are needed, it is in our world today." So
begins this remarkable story of the romance, return to Minoan
Crete, and adventures in Greece, Italy, Germany, Africa, pioneering
involvement in 20th and 21st century science and social action, and
award-winning books of Riane Eisler and David Loye. We go behind
the international best-seller The Chalice and the Blade, Sacred
Pleasure, The Real Wealth of Nations and her many other books into
the drama of the holocaust survivor and thinker who has been called
"The New Renaissance Woman" and "One of the most important
visionaries of our time." We go behind the award-winning The
Healing of a Nation, An Arrow Through Chaos, recovery of "the rest
and best" of Darwin's theory of evolution by a noted developer of
the new field of evolutionary systems science, and Loye's creative
explosion of 20 new books at age 82. This dual-biography provides
an unusually inspiring, humorous, and appealing guide to Eisler and
Loye's work as writers to globally advance the women's, human
rights, civil rights, progressive evolution, and partnership
movements globally. "For the word was meant to sing and dance and
inspire us to fulfill ourselves, not to lie flat and dead on the
page," Loye's Prologue concludes. "And love was meant for the
world, not only for oneself and one other alone. And as a link in
the chain of being on and on into the future, laughter not sorrow
must be our destiny." This is the first book for the Benjamin
Franklin Press publication of Loye's three book Love Cycle, with
1001 Days of Love and 100 Days of Love to follow. Cover by Barbara
Schaefer and John Mason. Production: Cassandra Gallup Bridge. Back
