The story of a group of teachers and high school students who from 1968 to 1970 broke away from the public schools to start an alternative school of their own design. The introductory chapters focus on Denker and Bhaerman, explaining how they came to start the project. The middle two chapters center on events and issues during the two years the authors were with the school. The final two chapters analyze the politics of free schools and the teaching of adolescents. Denker and Bhaerman write in a lively, candid, and personal style, describing the events as they happenedeven if these events show the school in a bad light. The book is directed toward those who want to understand the free school movement of the sixties and early seventies and toward those who want to move beyond it. Students and teachers, Bhaerman says, ultimately must face what they had been avoiding while rebelling against traditional institutions: that the responsibility for their education lies with themselves and that what they took from the free school’ was directly proportional to what they put in.” An Introduction by Lawrence Dennis and an Afterword by Bhaerman and Denker put both this experiment and the free school movement in historical perspective.

We’ve all heard stories of people who’ve experienced seemingly miraculous recoveries from illness, but can the same thing happen for our world? According to pioneering biologist Bruce H. Lipton, it’s not only possible, it’s already occurring. In Spontaneous Evolution, this world-renowned expert in the emerging science of epigenetics reveals how our changing understanding of biology will help us navigate this turbulent period in our planet’s history and how each of us can participate in this global shift. In collaboration with political philosopher Steve Bhaerman, Dr. Lipton invites readers to reconsider:• the "unquestionable" pillars of biology, including random evolution, survival of the fittest, and the role of DNA;• the relationship between mind and matter;• how our beliefs about nature and human nature shape our politics, culture, and individual lives; and• how each of us can become planetary "stem cells" supporting the health and growth of our world. By questioning the old beliefs that got us to where we are today and keep us stuck in the status quo, we can trigger the spontaneous evolution of our species that will usher in a brighter future.

If looking at today’s headlines makes you wonder about the fate of our planet, here is some news that may surprise you: from an evolutionary standpoint, we are exactly where we need to be. 
According to eminent biologist Bruce H. Lipton and political and cultural commentator Steve Bhaerman, we are surrounded by the proof that we are poised to take an incredible step forward in the growth of our species. On Spontaneous Evolution, you are invited to participate in an eye-opening examination of science and history―one that leads to a profound vision of the next “holistic” stage of human civilization. 
Join these two pioneers as they explore:
 The three perennial questions any belief system needs to address, and why the answers have changed throughout history • The four “Myth-Perceptions of the Apocalypse”―the unexamined pillars that support modern thought, and why each one of them is ready to crumble • Why the blueprint for a brighter future is literally inside you―encoded into each of your trillions of cells • What you can do to help usher in the greatest cultural shift since the Copernican revolution Many of the ideas and institutions that define our culture today are breaking down―and that’s a good thing, say Lipton and Bhaerman. This is a necessary part of the natural process of clearing out what no longer serves us, in order to make room for a new way of being that will carry us into the next age. 
Spontaneous Evolution is an insightful, playful, and ultimately hopeful look at the unfolding destiny of our species―and how you can play an active role as a co-creator of the world to come.

SOUNDS TRUE.

Life is "Duck Soup"-fun, easy, a piece of cake-when you can laugh at yourself and everything else. Swami Beyondananda, author of Driving Your Own Karma does away with all earnestness and doctrine of whatever stripe as he elaborates on his punny theories. The self-proclaimed leader of a FUNdamentalist Revival (accent on FUN), the Swami advocates putting levity over gravity, and offers seven ways to prevent Truth Decay. According to the Swami, the reason we are put in the material world is to get more material, and Nonjudgment Day is at hand. Although for most of us life is hardly easy, and can easily be hard, Swami says life can easily be easy and hardly be hard at all. "Am I serious?" asks the Swami. "Absolutely not!"

Le monde est dans un état critique. Nous avons tous entendu des histoires de gens qui ont vécu une guérison apparemment miraculeuse, mais la même chose peut-elle se produire pour notre monde ? Selon le biologiste cellulaire Bruce H. Lipton, c'est déjà le cas. Tout autour de nous, on peut voir la preuve que nous sommes prêts à faire un incroyable pas en avant dans l'évolution de notre espèce. Cet expert de renommée internationale dans la nouvelle science de l'épigénétique fait ici équipe avec le philosophe politique Steve Bhaerman pour offrir une nouvelle histoire pleine d'espoir sur le destin évolutif de l'humanité. "Évolution spontanée" révèle comment le fait d'améliorer notre compréhension de la biologie et de l'histoire humaine nous aidera à mieux traverser ces temps troublés, et invite les lecteurs à reconsidérer les piliers incontestés de la biologie, dont notamment le caractère aléatoire de l'évolution et le rôle de l'ADN ; comment chacun de nous peut devenir une «cellule souche» soutenant la santé et le bien-être de notre planète et de chaque individu... En nous libérant des vieilles croyances, en fondant notre vie et l'avenir du monde sur cette nouvelle vision encourageante, nous pouvons provoquer l'évolution spontanée de notre espèce. Biologiste cellulaire de formation, le Dr Bruce Lipton est mondialement reconnu dans l'unification de la science et de l'esprit et l'une des voix les plus écoutées dans la nouvelle biologie. Pionnier dans les domaines de l'éducation alternative et de la littérature holistique, Steve Bhaerman est actif dans la politique transpartisane et l'application pratique de l'évolution spontanée.
