"This book has a magic quality you don't find in writing in the
science world. This translation will in the future be the basic
text for any serious study of Teilhard in the English language." --
Thomas Berry, co-author of The Universe Story.
"Sarah Appleton-Weber has gifted English-speaking admirers of
Teilhard and his thought with a superb new translation. Readers
will find this new translation worth a fresh read. Appleton-Weber's
introduction to the work opens to readers, including Teilhard
scholars, the meaning and relevance not only of his vision but also
of phrases and words that he used to help bring his vision into
focus. Her introduction and copies of key diagrams used by Teilhard
are of great value and make this new translation critical: it is of
substantial value for communicating the vision of Teilhard." --
