The year is 1981. A young Don Edward Beck steps into the turbulent waters of South Africa—a land plagued by seemingly endless racial conflict and cultural warfare. 63 trips and 7 years later, the country—guided by Beck’s insight and action, along with Graham Linscott’s impeccable journalism—undergoes an historic transformation, the likes of which has never been seen in modern times.

What happened? How did Beck's Spiral Dynamics model assist a country without vision or hope for the future to completely transform? How can you apply their insights to your own field of expertise?

These questions—and more—are answered in the Limited Edition re-release of The Crucible: Forging South Africa's Future in Search of a Template for the World. For over 15 years, The Crucible, now out-of-print, has commanded astonishingly high prices for a single copy. Why? Because after people learn Spiral Dynamics, they see its transformative power as a change technology—and they want a real-world example, a tangible, on-the-ground case study of social transformation.

The wait is now over. There is, however, one important caveat. We have decided to release only 200 copies of The Crucible in a Limited Edition hardcover format. We've already reserved 30 copies to send to world leaders and people of influence. That means you must be one of the first 170 people to order The Crucible, available from this website only—and considering the pent-up demand that's been building for the past decade, you would be wise to act immediately.

When you do, you'll receive Beautiful Noise, a DVD that succinctly and compellingly presents an overview of Spiral Dynamics and Stratified Democracy, as narrated by Cherie Beck, publisher of The Crucible. While the total package has a real-world value beyond measure—especially when you factor in the potential resale value in a decade or two—you can own The Crucible in hardcover for only $100+$25 S/H.
