We are creatures indelibly shaped by 14 billion years of evolution. And therein lies the story that Wavell Cowan, a non-academic scholar, scientist, inventor, businessman, and community activist, sets forth in Escaping an Evolutionary Dead-End. He suggests that we are entering a period when new possibilities make feasible a necessary escape from our current evolutionary pathway. The stories that flow from his practical experiences carry us persuasively into a new era of possibilities and reveal the concepts on which they are based. Anyone with interests in societal development, the economy, education, health-care, etc., will find within the wide scope of this book many thought-provoking ideas.
