 The Alphabet Versus The Goddess
by Leonard Shlain
The author of Art and Physics is a surgeon at California Medical Center in San Francisco. He presents a ground-breaking book that reveals how alphabetic literacy, the process of reading, fundamentally rewired the brain with profound consequences for culture, history and religion. Shlain contends that with the advent of literacy the very act of reading an alphabet reinforced the brain's left hemisphere (predominantly linear, abstract and masculine) at the expense of the right (concrete, visual and feminine side). With this shift came the reconsecration of many Mediterranean goddess shrines to male deities. Shlain goes on to describe the colossal shift now under way: the return of the image. With the invention of photography, film, TV, and computers we are shifting from the dominance of the left brain back to the right to embrace feminine values. Filled with startling historic anecdotes and compelling ideas this book will transform your ideas about history and the mind. Reviewed by Andrew Macklem-Cross.

 The Cultural Creatives
by Paul H Ray & Sherry Ruth Anderson, PhD
Who are Cultural Creatives? "... they care deeply about ecology and saving the planet, about relationships, peace and social justice, about self-actualization, spirituality and self-expression...they are both inner directed and socially concerned...but because they've been so invisible, they are astonished to find out how many others share both their values and their way of life. Once they realize their numbers, their impact on America promises to be enormous, shaping a new agenda for the 21st century." This book details the 13 years of research by Ray and Anderson that revealed this important group of people. In a fascinating combination of statistics and stories the authors point out that the cultural creatives, "offers a more hopeful future and prepares us all for a transition to a new, saner and wiser culture."
