Other Books that Incorporate Partnership

2002

Hundreds of books incorporate the Partnership model. They range widely and include many subjects and fields.

The Chalice and The Blade in Chinese Culture: Gender Relations and Social Models edited by Min Jiayin (China Social Sciences Publishing House 1995, printed in both English and Chinese) and Partnership Education in Action: A Companion to Tomorrow's Children by Riane Eisler, edited by Dierdre Bucciarelli and Sarah Pirtle (Center for Partnership Studies 2001) are based on Eisler’s work and extend it further.

Some authors use the new conceptual framework proposed in Eisler’s work as the conceptual framework for their books; including;

• Myths of Enki, the Crafty God by Sumerologist Samuel Noah Kramer and religious historian John Maier (Oxford University Press 1989)
• Breaking Free of the Co Dependency Trap by psychologists Barry Weinhold and Janae Weinhold (Stillpoint 1989),
• Megatrends for Women by popular writers Patricia Aburdene and John Naisbitt (Billard Books 1992)
• Reclaiming Our Health by health expert John Robbins (H.J. Kramer 1996)
• Wisdom from a Rainforest by anthropologist Stuart Schlegel (University of Georgia Press 1998)
• The Ten Percent Solution: Simple Steps to Improve Our Lives and Our World by business entrepreneur Marc Allen (New World Library 2002).

Other books devote chapters to the partnership and dominator models, for example Gender Roles by sociologist Linda L. Lindsey (Prentice Hall 1997), and many others cite Eisler’s work, including:

•  Gaia: The Human Journey: From Chaos to Cosmos by biologist Elisabet Sahtouris (Pocket Books 1989)
• Creative Work by futurists Willis Harman and John Hormann (Knowledge Systems 1990),
• A Dream Deferred by sociologist Philip Slater (Beacon Press 1991)
• Transformative Learning by education professor Edmund O'Sullivan (Zed Books 1999).

Other books, such as Women of Courage edited by Katherine Martin (New World Library 1999) and Visionaries: People and Ideas to Change Your Life edited by Jay Walljasper and John Spayde (New Society Publishers 2001) feature Eisler with others who have contributed to a better world.

There are many anthologies that include pieces by Eisler for Example:

• The New Evolutionary Paradigm edited by Ervin Laszlo (Gordon and Breach 1991),
• Macrohistory and Macrohistorians edited by Johan Galtung and Sohail Inayatullah (Praeger 1997)
• The Web of Violence: From Interpersonal to Global edited by Jennifer Turpin and Lester Kurtz (University of Illinois Press 1997)

• Working Together edited by Angeles Arrien (New Leaders Press 1998)
• The 13th Labor: Improving Science Education edited by Eric J. Chaisson and Tae Chang Kim (Gordon and Breach 1999).

In addition to books interviewing Eisler such as Voicing Power edited by Gail Hanlon (Westview Press 1997) are works such as Sex, Death and the Angry Young Man by Mathew Callahan (Times Change Press 1993), which consists of conversations with Eisler and her partner David Loye, and Mavericks of the Mind edited by David Jay Brown and Rebecca McClen Novick (Crossing Press 1993), which also includes conversations with both of them.

Works of fiction such as The Moon Over Crete by Jyotsna Sreenivasan (Holy Cow Press 1994) and High Kamilan by Marie Jakober (Gullveig Books 1993) have been inspired by Eisler’s work.

In addition to the translations of Eisler’s books are foreign anthologies such as Eine Welt fur Alle edited by Andreas Giger (Horizonte 1990) and Origini di Storie by Gianluca Bocchi and Mauro Ceruti (Feltrinelli 1993) that include chapters by Eisler.
