In this powerful book, eminent social scientist, Riane Eisler shows that the great problems of our time - such as poverty, inequality, war, terrorism, and environmental degradation - are due largely to flawed economic systems that set the wrong priorities and misallocate resources.

The Chalice and the Blade tells a new story of our cultural origins. It shows that war and the "war of the sexes" are neither divinely nor biologically ordained. And it provides verification that a better future is possible--and is in fact firmly rooted in the haunting drama of what actually happened in our past.

Sacred Pleasure explores the past, present, and potential future of sex. It looks at both sex and the sacred in the larger context of our cultural and biological evolution. It demsystifies much in our sexual history that has been confusing, indeed incompreshensible, shedding new light on matters still generally shoved under the rug of the religious dogma or scientific jargon.

Based on the research that brought international recognition to Riane Eisler's groundbreaking work The Chalice and the Blade, but addressing the world as it is today, The Power of Partnership offers inspiration and guidance for moving to the better lives we yearn for. It is a self-help book that recognizes that the self can't be helped in isolation.

Tomorrow's Children recommends sweeping changes in both the content and process of teaching and maintains that ideas of struggle, conquest, and destruction can successfully be supplanted by those of cooperation, mutual aid, and respect for creation. The result is a revolutionary and inspiring picture of how education--and by extension, society--might look in the twenty-first century.

 

3000 Years of Love is the story of Riane Eisler and David Loye, of their partnership, their adventures and travels, their shared passion to build an equitable and caring world. From two completely different backgrounds – Loye from a Wasp “America-First” Oklahoma family and Eisler from a Jewish family that fled Europe from the Nazis – they found in each other, as Eisler puts it, our real homes. Sometimes humorous, always inspiring, this is a love story that helps us see how each one of us can make a difference in the world.

Women, Men, and the Global Quality of Life

Originally released at the U.N. Conference on Women held in Beijing, China in 1995, this CPS study of 89 countries dramatically reveals the connection between women's rights and a better quality of life for both men and women.
