This title in other formats:The last hours of ancient sunlight :waking up to personal and global transformationby Thom Hartmann
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:Sunlight warms the Earth with life. As our culture moved from ancient hunting/gathering times to the technological era, we discovered ancient sunlight — captured millions of years ago by plants and compressed into oil deep under our soil and oceans. Now, as our planet's oil supplies are projected to last no more than 30 to 50 years, and species and cultures are dying off at an unprecedented rate, we confront difficult choices. In this passionate yet thoroughly researched work, author Thom Hartmann proposes that the only lasting solution to the crises we face is to relearn the lessons of our ancient ancestors — who lived sustainably for thousands of generations. When you touch this new yet ancient way of seeing the world and hearing the voice of all life, you discover that you, personally, hold the power of personal and planetary transformation. In that breathtaking moment, we see both a possible future for the survival of humanity, and the fulfillment of our highest dreams and aspirations. Review:"One of the most important books you will ever read." -Neale Donald Walsch, author of Conversations with God Review:"I think Thom Hartmann is one of those people who 'puts it all together' for us, explaining not only what has seriously gone wrong in the world, but even more importantly all that can still go right. He is an awakener of the highest order." -Marianne Williamson Review:"Last Hours of Ancient Sunlight confronted me with the radical truth of our predicament and with grace and brilliance gently pointed a way toward our salvation as a species, and our evolution as humanity. It is essential reading for the 21st century." -Barbara Marx Hubbard, author, Conscious Evolution Review:"Before I even finished Thom Hartmann's book, The Last Hours of Ancient Sunlight, I was recommending it in all my workshops and to all my friends. Thom has a unique overview that helps lighten the shadow that technology has cast over our lives. His message that change is inevitable is powerful, but I came away believing that this is an opportunity, not a disaster. - Carol Adrienne, author of The Purpose of Your Life and co-author with James Redfield of The Celestine Prophecy: An Experiential Guide Review:"In The Last Hours of Ancient Sunlight Thom Hartmann shows both how perilous, and how urgent is the world's current predicament, as we move into a new millennium. His awesome amassal of facts relating to the exhaustion of fossil fuel resources (the "ancient sunlight" of his title) could be deeply disturbing, if he did not bring his own light of spiritual optimism to the impasse. Hartmann names the problem fearlessly, and yet offers a deep affirmation of the human potential for facing such problems once named. This book should rest on the shelf next to Vice President Gore's Earth in the Balance. If you have been sleep to the Ecological crisis, this is a lucid and compelling wakeup call!" -Stephen Larsen, Ph.D., Author of The Shaman's Doorway, The Mythic Imagination, and with his wife Robin, A Fire in the Mind, the Life of Joseph Campbell. (The Larsens also co-direct the Center for Symbolic Studies near New Paltz, NY.) Review:"Hartmann is a blend of James Michener and Rachel Carson, telling a gripping story that starts before the beginning of human history and leads up to the present--but rather than being about Hawaii or Chesapeake or Afghanistan, as Michener covered, Thom covers the world's ecology and energy. This is the kind of book which starts movements with millions of people heartfully involved. It's a book every student--and, indeed, every citizen of the world, should read." -Rob Kall, President, FUTUREHEALTH Review:"Thom Hartman writes one of the most rousing, raging and right thinking works of our time. As a visionary Speaker for the Earth, he reveals what we have done to our planet and how we can make true and deep amends. He offers potent and practical ways to achieve a new ecology of spirit and matter, mind and nature. He gives us a new story to illumine life at the threshold of forever." -Jean Houston, author of A Mythic Life and A Passion for the Possible About the AuthorThom Hartmann is an award-winning author, international lecturer, teacher, and psychotherapist.
