"Everyone...should have the opportunity to read it." -- Chicago Tribune"Validates a belief in humanity's capacity for benevolence and cooperation in the face of so much destruction." -- San Francisco Chronicle"The Chalice and the Blade may be the most significant work published in all our lifetimes." -- LA Weekly"Some books are like revelations, they open the spirit to unimaginable possibilities. The Chalice and the Blade is one of those magnificent key books that can transform us and... initiate fundamental changes in the world." -- Isabel Allende"The most important book since Darwin's Origin of Species ." -- Ashley Montagu

By Glynne on April 24, 2013
This book is a real "MUST", for all serious thinking readers! Although no longer a recent publication, its 'content' is such that it cannot be "dated" - it's a book that should be used as a prerequisite study for all people concerned about our Human Race, and our planet's future!! An amazing read!!!!
