The Universe Is a Green Dragon: A Cosmic Creation Story

by Brian Swimme

The Universe Is a Green Dragon: A Cosmic Creation Story Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Communicating his ideas in the form of a classical dialogue between a youth and a wise elder, cosmologist Brian Swimme crafts a fascinating exploration into the creativity suffusing the universe.
