Publication of the first of six books for an Entertainment and Humor Cycle by David Loye, Brave Laughter is the inspiring story of three generations of a lake-dwelling Minnesota family of independent thinkers and funny story tellers within the larger picture of change and progressive evolution for America from the Civil War into post-World War II years.

Publication of the second of Loye’s Entertainment and Humor Cycle, Return to Amalfi.   Travel, adventure, murder mystery—this is Loye’s fascinating account of the real life involvement of himself and his partner, cultural evolution theorist and Chalice and the Blade author Riane Eisler, in a rare combination of travel, detective, romance, history, “ghost,” and scientific adventure story.

The first of four books for Loye's Love Cycle, 3,000 Years of Love is the gripping, inspiring, often funny dual-biography of the lives of Eisler and Loye as lovers, writers, evolutionary systems scientists, and social and political activists.

Thomas Wolfe, Will Durant, Jesus, Gautama, the Reverends Billy Max Featherstone, Billy Max Tillybody, and other famous and fictional figures in a saga of the nightmare world of late 20th century American publishing and politics.  With many a nod to the influence of Kurt Vonnegut, Jr., it all lights up, fizzles, and in a cataclysmic adventure explodes in the third book for Loye’s Entertainment and Humor Cycle, Tangled Tales of the Book Trade, or the Mystery of the Missing Century.

Publication of the pivotal book for the Darwin Anniversary Cycle, Darwin’s Lost Theory: Who We Really Are and Where We’re Going. Wholly contradicting the long embedded, economically and politically disastrous stereotype of “survival of the fittest” and “selfish gene” Darwinism, this is the widely acclaimed reconstruction of Darwin’s long ignored “fully human, love and moral-action-oriented” completion for his theory of evolution. Among advance reviews by leading world scientists: “Everyone concerned with our understanding of evolution on this planet owes Loye a deep debt of gratitude”: Pioneering general evolution theorist Ervin Laszlo. “In this work Loye has brought his unique erudition to an enormous and critical task, and carried it off with genius. We urgently need this book, and we need it now”: Pioneering chaos theorist Ralph Abraham. “Grips the reader's imagination somewhat as if glued to watching him put together a giant jig-saw puzzle showing the whole sweep of evolution in the light of both former and recent thinking”: pioneering brain scientist Paul MacLean.  "Most exciting, most revealing book on Darwin I have ever read": pioneering biophysicist Mae Wan Ho. 

A searing, soaring social vision in the genre of Jonathan Swift, George Orwell, James Thurber, Charlotte Perkins Gilman, and 20th and 21st century environmental visionaries.  Assigned to encourage readership to Loye's Entertainment and Humor Cycle, The Parable of the Three Villages is the story purportedly recovered from an artifact of the ancient villages of the saintly Osanto, the vicious Snarlsgrrrr, and the woeful Mystifu. Prefiguring our own times to an amazing degree, the Parable tells of what happens when Snarlsgrrrr sets out to enslave and exploit the other villages with hordes of ComCon (i.e, compassionate conservative) robots.

As the crucial 2008 American presidential and congressional election nears, publication of The Science of Evil: What Makes Us Good or Bad? probing the moral and spiritual pathology driving both liberal and conservative concern. “Over many millennia we humans have grappled with evil with the tools of mind perfected through the cumulating experience of billions of us and the insight of great thinkers gathered into three great bodies of organized knowledge,” Loye tells us. First, over many thousands of years, the rich, ritualistic attempt by religion. Next, over only three to four thousand years, the lofty bookish probe by philosophy. Last, over barely more than 300 years, has come the attempt to ground our search for understanding in genetics, behavior, environment, and other multifaceted explorations of science. This book “has been written for the general reader looking for a relatively quick introduction to what science as well as religion and philosophy has to tell us about this most serious of all problems we humans encounter during our brief life spans on this earth. At the same time, I write to reach the student as well as the teacher and the established professional in science, religion, or philosophy, with a quick guide to a huge realm of knowledge now scattered over hundreds of books.”

Publication of the explosive fifth for the six book Darwin Anniversary Cycle, The Derailing of Evolution: The Story of the 100 Year Battle to Reclaim Our Lost Darwinian Future. How and why was Darwin’s love and moral-oriented completion for his theory of evolution buried for over 100 years? Who buried it? Who tried to dig it up, revive, and advance it? This is a shocking expose of how 20th century science and education was seized—and failed to protect us—from the devastation of the survival of the fittest, selfish gene politics and economics driving war, widespread misery, and global destruction.

Publication of the third book for the Moral Evolution Cycle, The Glacier and the Flame II: Redefining Evil. Are we bad as a matter of “innate evil”? From a scientific viewpoint is the problem a basically bestial human nature we can only hope to improve by relentless control? Or is ours the astonishing case of the rise and global proliferation of much of what we know as evil imposed upon us by bloody conquest in our supposedly unknowable distant past? Out of the pioneering work of archeologist Marija Gimbutas, cultural evolution theorist Riane Eisler, and scores of other social scientists emerges an extraordinary uncovering of the shaping impact on our history—and choice of future—of a “partnership” moral sensitivity and morality versus a “dominator” moral insensitivity and morality.
