Book excerpt: Chosen as an outstanding selection for The Saturday Review's Science Book Club, Dr. George Land's GROW OR DIE is sending shock waves through the worlds of Psychology, Medicine, Biology & Education. Dr. Land dons the hat of both scientist & philosopher to ingeniously demonstrate the vital nature of growth & the startling idea that species adapt their environments to themselves rather than adapting themselves to their environments. The author's Transformation Theory is lauded as brilliant by experts in every field of natural & social science: Dr. Margaret Mead finds it a "magnificent synthesis that deals with the question of cultural change in evolutionary terms more effectively than any other." And Dr. Karl Menninger calls it an "intriguing effort to formulate a general systems theory or application of it to all world phenomena...a broadening & horizon raising line of thought." Through the vehicle of this well-written book with its original, important concepts & interdisciplinary approach, we may at last comprehend our own dichotomous nature & our place in the universe. This controversial book will be widely discussed & hotly debated. To order: Creative Education Foundation.
