The awakening earth : the global brain / Peter Russell.

"Peter Russell puts forward the idea of teh earth as a collective self-regulating living organism, and invites us to join in an explorartion of humanity's potential as seen through the eyes of the planet. Through this we share with the author an inner vision of our evolutionary future. Drawing on the work of physicists, philosophers and mystics, Peter Russell shows that human society may be about to make a quantum leap in evolution as significant as the emergence of life itself some three and a half million years ago"--inside front cover.
