I like Michael Talbots book, "The Holographic Universe"

About tying astrological influences to human evolution is not quite the correct idea. One doesn't really effect the other, one is not the cause and the other the effect. It is more appropriate to say they are one and the same thing.

The Mayan calendar was a tracking of these events. That is why its predictions were so accurate. But, now we are in a new time, and the cycles have changed.
