John Gribbin, New Scientist

Prof. John Taylor, Kings College, London

The New Humanity, U.K.

"It is unusual to find so profound a book so lucidly written; its subject is ‘in the air’ and Peter Russell has magnificently crystalized and developed it. He presents us with a startling, optimistic, and literally revolutionary view of our future. I believe he will open new doors to many people’s perceptions. I read the book almost at a sitting, in great excitement."

Brian Aldiss, U.K.

"Through fifty years in the Christian ministry, and the reading of endless books, I have not read anything so comprehensive, and so lucidly written on the basic origins and meaning of our earthly existence. It is the sort of book that if I had the money I would pay for copies to be generally distributed . ."

Rev Charles W. Harrington, U.K.

"I think this is the most important book since the Bible. I want to order a hundred and send them to my friends, and suggest that they do the same."

Anne Seggerman, U.S.A.

Sarah Woodhouse, Lancing College, U.K.

"A remarkable new hypothesis."

Brain/Mind Bulletin, U.S.A.

Jeff Strong, U.S.A.

"I stole your book from (a mutual friend) and loved it. I'd ordered 4 for my children. It is now to become 44 as we have to substitute them for the Gideons Bible in some houses we are building."

Charles Nuttall, Bahamas

"Very inspiring. Already I have five more copies that I intend to give to some close friends at Christmas and will ask them, if they enjoyed it as much as I did, to do the same. It could become the first ever literary chain letter!"

Mrs. Salamah Pope, Indonesia

"It is the spirit I like most in your books! The optimism! That we really need today. Then the vision! That we also need badly! Then the extensive research you have made so the questions get illuminated from all possible angles! Rarely I can say so much positive about a book."

Tomas Almberg, Denmark
