Gaia’s Dance is Earth’s own enticing adventure story covering billions of years. Looking now through a telescope powerful enough to see Earth from a planet a few thousand light years away from us, we might see an ancient Greek storyteller relating the creation story of Gaia’s Dance. Evolution biologist Elisabet Sahtouris takes us through the scientific story of evolution showing parallels with the ancient story while unfoding it scientifically to reveal how our own amazing bodies trace their roots to ancient bacterial cooperatives and how the essence of biological evolution is a repeating maturation process in which youthful competition gives way to mature cooperation. Learning how our own smart molecule proteins manage our cellular economies shows how we ourselves can navigate the perfect storm of crises we face and mature quickly into a healthy, cooperative human future. Comments on Gaia’s Dance:Elisabet's vision of evolution as an endlessly repeating cycle of maturation from competition to cooperation at all levels reinforced the same beliefs I had acquired through my stem cell research. Her research and profoundly important conclusions mesmerized me. Elisabet's vision and beautiful mind resolve massive complexities into elegant simplicity.—Bruce Lipton, pioneer in epigenetics, author of The Biology of Belief, Spontaneous Evolution and The Honeymoon EffectA splendid book!—Jean Houston, founder of Human Potential Movement and Mystery Schools; author of The Wizard of Us, along with 25 other books In Gaia's Dance, Sahtouris leads us to experience the difference it makes when we see Earth not as a machine, but as a living being. If we all made that one, profound shift, the world would be transformed. —Betty Sue Flowers, editor of Global Scenarios for Shell Oil, and books including Campbell's The Power of Myth, Jaworski's Synchronicity, and co-author of Presence; Human Purpose and the Field of the Future.
