Title: The vision of the past.
Description: New York/Evanston: Harper & Row, 1966 (1st ed.); 285pp., index, footnotes, 2 in-text maps, 8vo, cloth w. dustjacket. V. good copy. ¶ originally published in 1957 under the title of La vision du passé, this translation by J.M. Cohen presents Teilhard's own theory of transformation, 'the change from one species to another through evolution'. This 'Transformism' is more a (French) philosopher-mystic way of thinking than a scientific theory, but that is exactly what attracted so many in Teilhard's work.
