In the Spirit of the Earth : Rethinking History and Time
Editorial Reviews
Review
"It just may be a sign that the wind is turning when a Rutgersprofessor of history writes a book (and gets it published)debunking historical time and civilization... Martin finds, inneolithic time consciousness, a key ingredient in the control ofthe natural world, and locates the 'ideological origins of humanbondage' in animal domestication." -- Alternative Press Review
"Martin has given us a new map for imagining the world around us and our place in it." -- Hungry Mind Review
Review
"Eloquently, Calvin Martin speaks again to the major issues that define human existence in our time. In the Spirit of the Earth is a fascinating evocation of our past and of our future. It is a vision of the spiritual imagination of humankind, centered and sharply defined. It ought to be read carefully and considered deeply. It is an important book." -- N. Scott Momaday, author of House Made of Dawn
"A compelling indictment of 'history's hammerlock on our imagination' and apassionate inquest into the possibility of a new historical consciousnessresponsible as much to the rest of nature as it is to humankind." -- Hayden White
