His books, such as the bestselling The Phenomenon of Man, have influenced generations of ecologists, environmentalists, planners, and others concerned with the fate of the earth.This book brings together original essays by leading experts who reflect on Teilhardas legacy for todayas globalized world. They explore such topics as: the idea of God and the person; quantum reality and Teilhardas vision; spiritual resources for the future; politics and economics; and a charter for co-evolution.
