Elgin's work emerges from a concern for the environmental consequences of our mass consumption lifestyles. His book exhorts us to save the planet and our souls by &quot;living with balance in order to find a life of greater purpose.&quot;]]>

    <![CDATA[In The Living Universe, Duane Elgin marshals evidence from cosmology, biology, physics, even his participation in NASA-sponsored psychic experiments to show that the universe is actually a living field of existence and that we are always in communion with that field of aliveness whether we are conscious of it or not. This is a worldview that, as Elgin explains, is shared by virtually every spiritual tradition, and the implications of it are vast and deep. In a living system each part is integral to the whole, so each of us is intimately connected to the entire universe. Elgin eloquently demonstrates how that identity manifests itself on a whole series of levels, from subatomic to galactic. We are, he writes, far more than biological beings; we are beings of cosmic connection and dimension.]]>

    <![CDATA[First published in 1981, &quot;Voluntary Simplicity&quot; was quickly recognised as a powerful and visionary work in the emerging dialogue over sustainable living. Now - nearly thirty years later and with the planet facing the perfect storm of an economic, ecological, and humanitarian crisis - Duane Elgin has once again revised and updated his revolutionary book. &quot;Voluntary Simplicity&quot; is not about sacrifice and living in poverty; it is a book about happiness and living with balance. Elgin illuminates the shift toward green ways of living growing around the world and shows the promise of a new pathway into the future.]]>

    <![CDATA[Just as there are relatively distinct stages that characterize  the development of an individual from infancy to early adulthood, so  too are there discernible stages in the development of our species as  we move toward a planetary-scale civilization. Awakening Earth brings  together views from science and spirituality, East and West, the  practical and the visionary to present a new picture of human  evolution. Based upon twenty years of research, this book explores the  human journey from the initial awakening of hunter-gatherers roughly  35,000 years ago, through the agrarian era and industrial revolution,  and then goes on to describe three additional stages of development  essential for realizing our initial maturity as a global  species-civilization.  <p>A disoriented world civilization faced with  dwindling resources, mounting pollution and exploding population is a  recipe for ecological collapse and social anarchy. It is imperative  that the human family begin to make rapid and profound changes in how  we live together on the Earth. To accomplish this, we must now ask  ourselves fundamental questions: Who are we? What are we doing here?  Where are we going as a species? Awakening Earth provides a catalyst  for this conversation with its integrative vision and inspiring map of  the journey towards a sustainable, compassionate, and creative  future.  <p>While not predicting a sudden &quot;new age&quot; of social  enlightenment, Awakening Earth does present the promising view that  humanity is roughly halfway through seven major transformations in  culture and consciousness required to build a planetary civilization  that can endure into the deep future.</p></p>]]>

    <![CDATA[Creating stories allows individuals and their families to see and honor their connection to older and younger generations. The authors believe that through such writing, individuals not only communicate the meaning and spirit of their lives to their loved ones but also gain perspective on the larger world. This beautifully designed and illustrated guide escorts readers through the process of writing down their stories and illustrating them with photographs, memorabilia, and other images, including digital format. By offering readers questions to draw out events and memories, the book emphasizes a person's full life, in all of its highs and lows, magic moments, and simple pleasures. The book's supportive approach will inspire even first-time writers to forge a collection of stories to share and pass on to the important people in their lives.]]>
