This sourcebook documents the rising planetary vision of an organically developing universe, a cosmic genesis, by way of an annotated bibliography and anthology with over 1400 entries.  Instead of an alphabetic list, its outline conveys this once and future narrative of a quickening, numinous creation which involves human participation.  Of special note will be a respectful accord with prior wisdom and how it might advise a better, more tolerant, sustainable future.

As the logo portrays, our guiding premise is that a new composite stage of worldwide knowledge is just now emerging from the contributions of all people together.  From this humankind vantage, whole earth appears as a learning planet coming to its own discovery.  This inclusive vista can provide a novel dispensation we are in much need of today.  The main editor is Arthur Fabel but its on-going authorship belongs to everyone.
