Evolution/ Science/ Darwin/ BiographyAre we politically, economically, morally, spiritually, and environmentally going up, down, sideways, or crazy? As progressive vision is swept aside by the politics of lunacy, what's to be done about global warming, nuclear overkill, terrorism, galloping corruption, rule by corporation?How are we to go forward rather then be driven backward in evolution? Darwin's Second Revolution is the first book of a trilogy written to provide a new grounding in historical, political, economic, moral, spiritual, and environmental reality for the theory and story of evolution and an integrated new scientific vision for our troubled time.Part I, The Triumph of the Neos, uncovers the story of what set us off in both better and worse evolutionary directions for the 20th and 21st centuries. Part II, A New Language for Evolution and Revolution, cuts through the baffling overload of scientific concepts and languages to a new path for moving ahead. Part III, The Rise and Fall of the Super Neos- including a hard-hitting critique of Richard Dawkins and fellow sociobiologists and evolutionary psychologists, in contrast to the vision of Stuart Kauffman, Ervin Laszlo, and scores of Darwinian second revolutionaries-completes an amazing story of global psychotherapy for the 20th century with a vision of liberation for the 21st century. ..". An amazing accomplishment ...scholarship of deep humanity and needful wisdom... advances a new vision." Robert J. Richards, national award-winning science historian and Darwin scholar. "David Loye's is one of the few voices desperately needed in the Darwin debates... Read him, it's one of the most important topics alive today." Ken Wilber, pioneering integral philosopher and psychologist, author A Brief Theory of Everything."To shift from despair to hope as we face the renewed challenge of evolution: that and nothing less, is the challenge and the task taken up by David Loye in his profound, thorough, and deeply inspiring books on Darwin and evolution. Ervin Laszlo, pioneering systems philosopher, scientist, and global activist...". stupendous output ...clearly and entertainingly ...points the way to new paradigms for science crucial to our sustainable future." Ralph Abraham, pioneering mathematician and chaos theorist...". must-read for all of us working for global transformation to a cleaner, greener, more equitable future for the human family."

Second in a series of six new books for a Darwin Anniversary Book Cycle, Measuring Evolution: A User's Guide to the Health and Wealth of Nations tells the inspiring story of the development, and provides a guide to the use, of the Global Sounding. This is a new instrument for measuring our local, national, and planetary health and well-being on 15 basic indicators of evolution. Of widespread prospective interest is the fact that, for the first time, this new measure bridges what both progressive scientists and progressive religious leaders increasingly view as a socially, economically, politically, and morally disastrous gap between science and spirituality. With hundreds of studies of evolution by natural, social and systems scientists behind it, the Global Sounding has been designed to provide a relatively simple new way of measuring the impact of our human actions, or inactions, on the range from cosmic, chemical, and biological evolution, through the evolution of the brain, into the spread of cultural evolution through personal, social, economic, political, educational, and technological into moral and spiritual evolution, capped by the evolution of consciousness and personal and social action to change our world for the better. The name for the new measure comes from Darwin's famous voyage of the Beagle-the ship originally commissioned to circle the world to obtain soundings indicating peaceful harbors and safe channels for navigation. The book is animated by colorful, engaging, and often humorous stories to illustrate how the new measure can be put to use by progressives during the customary behind-scenes battles with advocates for the status quo or regressives in key decision-making situations that determine whether we move ahead, are checked in place, or shoved backward in evolution. Along with illustrative test matrixes for each of the following situations, the Global Sounding has been designed to advance the successful advocation of and motivation for globally-responsible programs, practices, and policies by decision-makers in business, government, politics, science, education, foundations, religions, and the media. The author, David Loye, is an internationally known evolutionary systems scientist and author of the award-winning The Healing of a Nation. Titles for further books in the new series are Darwin's Lost Theory, Darwin on Love, The Derailing of Evolution, and Telling the New Story, first for a series of books by leading world educators on how to globally shift from the old to the new Darwinian model in schools and the media. In addition to more information on the Darwin Anniversary Book Cycle, the website for the publisher, www.benjaminfranklinpress.com, provides a marketing analysis of prospective appeal to readers in editions for other languages in Europe, Asia, and South as well as North America. The publisher has also launched an online Darwin Anniversary Report (www.darwinanniversary.com) to provide a central news source for scores of events now underway around the world during the current global buildup for the 200th Anniversary of Darwin's birth.

Evolution/ Science/ Darwin/ Biography Darwin's Lost Theory is the third and pivotal book for the six book Darwin Anniversary Cycle by pioneering evolutionary systems scientist David Loye. Powerfully contradicting the long embedded stereotype of "survival of the fittest" and "selfish gene" Darwinism, this is David Loye's widely acclaimed reconstruction of Darwin's long ignored "fully human, love and moral-action-oriented" completion for his theory of evolution. In Part I: A Young Man's Bold Vision, we meet and get to know Darwin in the critical months during which he first strayed on what became the known theory of evolution, for which he became famous, but also the seemingly contrary insights in his private notebooks, which became the long ignored completion for his theory. In Part II: An Old Man's Surprises, it's 30 years later. We follow Darwin as he writes of how, rather than being slaves of "selfish genes," far more often than we are aware, we are driven by moral sensitivity. Of how, though selfish, we are also driven by love to transcend selfishness. Of how, though fiercely motivated to survive and prevail, we are also driven by a transcendent need to respect and care for the needs of others. Surrounded by his seven children working as publishing and research assistants, the love of his life, his wife Emma, the orchids in his greenhouses, his dog Bob and 274 year old giant sea turtle, we are there as Darwin writes not of how we are driven blindly, witlessly, through a life with no predictability, but instead by a brain that demands of life a sense of meaning and purpose, and by the vision of a better future. Among endorsements by leading world scientists: "Everyone concerned withour understanding of evolution on this planet owes Loye a deep debt of gratitude" ~ pioneering general evolution theorist Ervin Laszlo. "The most exciting book I have ever read on Darwin" ~ pioneering biophysicist Mae Wan-Ho. "In this work Loye has brought his unique erudition to an enormous and critical task, and carried it off with genius" ~ pioneering chaos theorist Ralph Abraham. Publisher: Benjamin Franklin Press.

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.

As both organized religion and traditional political ideologies lose their force, our political, economic, and social direction has no clear sense. Leaders have lost their concern for the changes they want to make, or Leadership passion.

"The Leadership Passion" looks at historical sources of left-right motivation, theories related to ideology and classic psychological studies, as well as discussing David Loye's prediction of leadership styles in the future, in terms of psychology and ideology.

This unique book gives you a practical guide to a full range of traditional forecasting methods that can be used in business, government, and management to predict future events and trends and to guide your planning and investments.

A former member of Princeton University's psychology faculty, David Loye examines the science lying behind predicting the future and outlines a theoretically advanced yet practical, down-to-Earth psychology for futures forecasting. His findings here will be helpful to anyone who wants to improve a personal ability to foresee trends affecting his or her own future.

"The Sphinx and the Rainbow" explores how the front brain may interact with the right and left brain in forecasting the future, how all the parts of the brain function creatively as a unit, how the new psychophysics may provide explanations for ancient questions about mind-brain relationships, and the mystifying phenomena of precognition and future prediction.

A historic synthesis of neuro-physiology, psychology, parapsychology and theoretical physics, this absorbing book takes you into the perplexing territory scouted by David Loye and shows you how to strengthen the neglected power of the forecasting mind.

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.
