While everything appears to be collapsing around us -- ecodamage, genetic engineering, virulent diseases, the end of cheap oil, water shortages, global famine, wars -- we can still do something about it and create a world that will work for us and for our childrens children. The inspiration for Leonardo DiCaprios web movie Global Warning, The Last Hours of Ancient Sunlight details what is happening to our planet, the reasons for our cultures blind behavior, and how we can fix the problem. Thom Hartmanns comprehensive book, originally published in 1998, has become one of the fundamental handbooks of the environmental activist movement. Now, with fresh, updated material and a focus on political activism and its effect on corporate behavior, The Last Hours of Ancient Sunlight helps us understand--and heal--our relationship to the world, to each other, and to our natural resources.
Synopsis
In this passionate and visionary call to enlightened consciousness, Hartmann combines spirituality and ecology to point the way to a luminous future for the planet.
Synopsis
A call to consciousness combining spirituality and ecology that offers hope for the future.
As the world's population explodes, cultures and species are wiped out, and we have now reached the halfway point of our supplies of oil, humans the world over are confronting difficult choices about how to create a future that works.
Thom Hartmann proposes that the only lasting solution to the crises we face is to re-learn the lessons our ancient ancestors knew -- those which allowed them to live sustainably for hundreds of thousands of years -- but which we've forgotten.
Hartmann shows how to find this new yet ancient way of seeing the world and the life on and in it, allowing us to touch that place where the survival of humanity may be found.
