"Kosmos carries in every word and picture the sense of the global culture that is emerging. Beautifully illustrated, brilliantly written by leading evolutionary agents, it holds a unique place in the formation of a wisdom culture."
Barbara Marx Hubbard, Futurist

"The other day I received a precious package. There were four wonderful Kosmos Journals. You can't imagine how much I treasure them . . . We are going through very difficult political and social problems. Kosmos articles can help us see a light at the end of the tunnel and change our life perspectives. "
Nila Tadic de Ossio, Bolivia
