The Gardens of Their Dreams

the long version

The Gardens of Their Dreams is a unique and important book. It contains fascinating information about our past from an array of cultures and world regions. It verifies the connection between a history of violence and domination on the one hand, and environmental degradation and desertification on the other. It has direct implications for our time and the choices we must make if we, and the generations still to come, are to have a better future. I congratulate Brian Griffith for this accomplishment. --- Riane Eisler, author of The Chalice & the Blade, Sacred Pleasure, Sacred Pleasure, The Power of Partnership, The Real Wealth of Nations
