An immediate sensation when it was first published in two volumes in 1945, Popper's monumental achievement has attained legendary status on both the Left and Right and is credited with inspiring anticommunist dissidents during the Cold War.

Andrew Weil, undisputed leader of the holistic medicine revolution. And, of course, Timothy Leary, the charismatic, rebellious counterculture icon and LSD guru.

Through philosophical dialogues, and prophetic cries, Life’s Ark resurrects the questions buried by history: What is justice? What is love? What survives when the ship sinks? This novel includes ...
