Emerging World in the News


PSYCHOLOGY TODAY BOOK REVIEW:
“ With Shared Emotions and Global Empathy, Our Best Days Await. ” April 7, 2021.

“Roger Briggs' ‘Emerging World’ offers simple ways to fix our broken planet. His suggestions are well-grounded, based on detailed analyses of information from numerous disciplines including evolutionary biology, paleoanthropology, cognitive psychology, philosophy, economics, and sociology — including a much-needed discussion of restorative justice. Briggs' eclectic book is a fascinating and thought-provoking journey…. My humble suggestion is to read his book, read it again, and share it widely.”

- Marc Bekoff, Ph.D., professor emeritus of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at the University of Colorado, Boulder, and co-founder with Jane Goodall of Ethologists for the Ethical Treatment of Animals.
