| Chaos, Gaia, Eros: A Chaos Pioneer Uncovers the Three Great Streams of History by HarperOne Lots of good info, weak on the synthesis |
| The author gives good detail as to the history of culture in respect to the subject matter. In fact, too much detail. All the major actors in history are listed with their contributions to the flow of culture and reemergence of the topic matter. However, there is not enough synthesis or any aspects of beauty here. We are talking about Gaia, yet never lead to feel it, to recognize it in our own experience. This lack leaves the book with an academic feel but not much humanity. |
| Chaos, Gaia, Eros: A Chaos Pioneer Uncovers the Three Great Streams of History by HarperOne amusingly chaotic read! |
| - a cornucopia of information that mysteriously and interestingly ties together seemingly disparate areas of study into a unified powerful statement. If you've ever wondered about the origins of Western thought - not to mention thousands of other little intellectual sidestreams, grab this book. Its nontraditional format that seems to jump around from subject to subject is easily manageable and quite enjoyable. The wealth of information makes the whole process definitely worth it. I highly recommend it, and would hope to accomplish something similar in my own work. |
| Chaos, Gaia, Eros: A Chaos Pioneer Uncovers the Three Great Streams of History by HarperOne Good introductory text |
| This was the first book I read on the subject, and it was average - lots of names and facts - like a text book, but no convincing thread pulling it all together and convincing me of the author's view. |
