FOUNDATIONS OF 'THE HUMAN ODYSSEY'-- ORIGINS IN THE WORK OF KEN WILBER & JOSEPH CAMPBELL  (B&W Interior).***THE HUMAN ODYSSEY.   In their landmark study, authors Hugh and Kaye Martin presented a unique, new model of human development called The Human Odyssey. The Human Odyssey manifests itself in two forms:

• ·      The ADAPT Model. A conceptual version - originating in the work of Ken Wilber.
• ·      The Life Journey Archetype.  A symbolic version -- originating in the work of Joseph Campbell.

Now, in this companion volume, the authors explore the details of Wilber and Campbell -- showing how the work of these two great men is reflected in the authors' own conception of The Human Odyssey. In three parts: *
