"A wonderful book, masterfully balancing ecological doom with spiritual renaissance."
-- Ken Wilber

"A luminous, beautiful, and wise book."
-- Hazel Henderson

For several decades visionary scientist Peter Russell's message has essentially been one of sanity and hope amid growing signs of the threat of ecological catastrophe. This tenth anniversary new release of his award-winning masterwork, Waking Up in Time, remains a showcase of the truth that the very survival of our civilization requires that we make a radical shift in consciousness.

The classic manifesto for awakening to the planetary crisis remains an inspired invitation to be the change each of us wants to see in the world. Russell's inspired call is supported not by mere new age nostrums but by a sophisticated vision of the integration of science, evolution, consciousness, and spirituality.

Waking Up in Time portrays the human community rushing toward an unprecedented moment of culmination -- the much-heralded "omega" point of history. Russell offers a gripping account of the ever-accelerating pace of change that will lead to this denouement early in this century. Yet we can live a sane and peaceful life even in these times of epochal change, Russell shows -- one that is free of the burnout, panic, and anxiety that will afflict many. A sublime inner peace can result from liberating ourselves from materialism and excessive desire -- and this peace is available now, Russell explains. Finding it is imperative -- for each of us -- if humanity is to face the perilous times ahead.
