About the Author
Joseph Chilton Pearce speaks to government officials and educators worldwide on human intelligence, creativity, and learning.
From Publishers Weekly
The author of The Crack in the Cosmic Egg claims that schools have collapsed because most American children are neurologically damaged. By age 11, he maintains, the brain loses most of its neural connections, partly due to medical interventions during childbirth, lack of breastfeeding, routine circumcision without anaesthesia and other factors Pearce believes rupture the mother-infant bond and thus inhibit the growth of the child's cortex. He also faults television, which floods the juvenile brian with images at the very time it should be producing images from within; day-care and regimented schooling, which stifle spontaneous play; and synthetic growth hormone residues in meat, poultry and dairy products, which induce premature sexuality in adolescents. To overcome these impediments, Pearce outlines a developmental psychology drawing on the work of Jean Piaget, the novels of Carlos Castaneda, tantric Indian cosmology and quantum physics. Much more rigorous and demanding than his previous books, his controversial tract makes many sweeping claims likely to prompt skepticism. $30,000 ad/promo; author tour.

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. This book shows how the brain-mind-body is a self-organizing system that constructs our experience of reality. Drawing upon the latest brain research and highlighting the connection to quantum physics, the author traces the development of intelligence from infancy to adulthood and explores the profound biological dynamic between the heart and mind. He further analyzes the major negative forces that hamper the development of intelligence and indicates children's premature exposure to such institutions as daycare and TV, which combine to cause biological breakdowns that sabotage our children's development and the future of our society. Finally, the author suggests how we may pass through the forces that impede us and come to the next step in human evolution - a way of knowing and being that goes beyond the five senses, that unites us fully with life's creative processes. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. Seller Inventory # GOR004566847
