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. His explication of the fundamental powers of the cosmos is mystical and ecstatic and points directly to the need to activate ones own creative powers.

Review:

"Seldom, if ever, within the scientific tradition, has the excitement of the universe been expressed in such memorable phrasing."
