Preface by Sir George Trevelyan, Foreword by Barry McWaters (UK edition).
"This is a book about potential -- the collective potential of the human species to transform our world from one of distress to one of joy and excellence.
"The Evolutionary Journey appears at a time when it is deeply needed. There is today an abundance of confusion and apprehension about the future. The questions now being asked about ourselves and the world in which we live are deep and disturbing: How will we solve the seemingly insurmountable social, economic and ecological problems we have created? Is the progress of our society towards inevitable disintegration and destruction? Is there, in fact, any chance at all of a positive, creative future?
"Barbara Marx Hubbard sets out to provide an inspirational content in which the issues underlying these questions can be faced with hope and joyful expectancy. She provides a supportive foundation for us all and offers a view of reality that touches the heart, opens the mind and inspires hope." [jacket blurb, UK pbk, 1983]
"This is a great age in which to be alive. Barbara Marx Hubbard is one who has seen the potential and can put it over in an inspiring manner. Read this book, and rejoice, and go to work to bring a new world into being and to become what she calls Homo Universalis." --Sir George Trevelyan (from the Preface, UK pbk, 1983).
