"Yale graduate, professor, speaker and author, remove the letters
"se" from his surname and you have an idea just how brilliant a
thinker Eisenstein is considered to be."—Montreal Gazette
"This is an extraordinary book. Eisenstein has put his finger on
the core problem facing humanity—namely: separation. All the crises
that humanity now faces are grounded in the belief that we are
separate—separate from each other, separate from the biosphere that
sustains us, separate from the universe that has brought us forth.
This is a tour-de-force filled with astounding insight, wit, wisdom
and heart."—Christopher Uhl, author of Developing Ecological
Consciousness: Paths to a Sustainable Future
"Quite marvelous, a hugely important work... This book is truly
needed in this time of deepening crisis."—John Zerzan, author of
Future Primitive and Elements of Refusal
"A radical awakening as to how we arrived at our current
crisis and how we can more effectively redefine the path of our
evolutionary journey."—Bruce Lipton, author of The Biology of
Belief
"Brilliant and original, with great depth of insight and
understanding, Eisenstein's Ascent of Humanity easily ranks with
the works of such giants of our age as David Bohm, Julian Jaynes,
Jean Gebser, Whitehead. It is a profoundly serious, indeed somber
portrait of our times, even as it opens a door of honest hope
amidst the dark destiny we have woven about us. Accept the
challenge of this major accomplishment and discover the light
shining within it."—Joseph Chilton Pearce, author of The Crack in
the Cosmic Egg, Magical Child, Evolution's End, and The Biology of
Transcendence
"This is one of those rare books that moves the goal posts.
Eisenstein pulls together a wide array of insights to show that
what we thought was the solution is also the problem. It is eye
opening fodder for conversations with everyone I meet. As a
technologist and a human being, I believe this could well be one of
the most important books of the decade."—Garret Moddel, professor
of electrical engineering at UC Boulder; chairman & CTO, Phiar
Corporation
