As the world's population explodes, cultures and species are wiped out, and we have now reached the half-way point of our supplies of oil, humans the world over are confronting difficult choices about how to create a future which works. Thom Hartmann proposes that the only solution to the crises we face is to re-learn the lessons our ancient ancestors knew - that allowed them to live sustainably for hundreds of thousands of years - but that we've forgotten. Hartmann shows how to find this new and yet ancient way of seeing the world and the life on and in it, allowing you to touch that place where the survival of humanity may be found. --- from book's back cover

Review:

Ecology and spirituality are deftly intertwined in this well-written discussion of how we can save and preserve life on earth. Vermont author Thom Hartman offers a highly persuasive argument for adopting the spiritual values of our ancient ancestors, which means living with a strong connection to the earth as well as the sun that nourishes us all. Nowadays, humans often perceive themselves as separate from nature and born to dominate it, says Hartman who lays out some frightening, albeit thorough, research on the destruction of the planet. But as the book progresses, he guides readers into a convincing and intelligent vision for reversing our destructive ways.

Mostly, we could all use an attitude adjustment. For example, he explains how native and tribal cultures often considered all forms of life to be as sacred as human life--an attitude that may be one of our best shots at planetary longevity. Hartman devotes his final section to "What the Average Person Can Do," including chapters titled, "Turn Off the TV," "The Modern-Day Tribe: Intentional Community," and "Reinventing Our Daily Lives and Rituals." --Gail Hudson

From the Author:

The Mythical Books version of Last Hours of Ancient Sunlight was written in 1996-97 for 1998 publication, so I was very pleased when Harmony Books picked it up for August 1999 publication and encouraged me to go through the book to update it. We finished the process in June, so it's about as up-to-date as we could be! There are also many things I've added to the text, reflecting new thinking, learning, and facts. And, we've added a very comprehensive index. All in all, this is a vastly improved book over the original trade version. Enjoy! Thom Hartman, author of The Last Hours of Ancient Sunlight

Book Description Softcover. Condition: New. First Edition. Without oil to use as fuel, fertilizer, and raw material, the food supply for the planet is adequate for no more than one billion people. By 1999 the world population will be at least six billion. What will happen when the oil supplies begin to run out? How can disaster be avoided? In this call to consciousness that combines spirituality and ecology, Hartmann addresses these questions, exposes the pervasive cultural insanity that threatens the Earth, and provides realistic answers.
