The Chalice and the Blade: the most important book since the Origin of the Species.

~ Ashley Montagu
Princeton Anthropologist

This international bestseller -- now in 23 foreign editions, including Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Arabic, Hebrew, and most European languages
-- tells a fascinating new story of our past, present, and the possibilities for our future. Weaving together evidence from art, archeology, religion, social science, history, and many other fields of inquiry into new patterns that more accurately fit the best available data, it shows that war and the "war of the sexes" are neither divinely nor biologically ordained. 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.

Some books are like revelations, they open the spirit to unimaginable possibilities. The Chalice and The Blade is one of those magnificent key books that can transform us.

~Isabel Allende, author of The House of the Spirits

The Chalice and The Blade may be the most significant work published in all our lifetimes. Read The Chalice and The Blade. . .it may make the future possible.

~L.A. Weekly

To read Eisler is to glimpse new vistas of human possibilities.

~New Woman

As important, perhaps more important, than the unearthing of Troy or the deciphering of cuneiform.
