BOOK OF THE MONTH
THE LAST HOURS OF ANCIENT SUNLIGHT
by Thom Hartmann
Why do we so much want you to read The Last Hours of Ancient Sunlight? Because it is the only book we know that not only gives a clear picture of the underlying causes of the world's environmental and social predicament, but also suggests ways of dealing with it that are big and powerful enough to actually make a difference! Rather than merely proposing that we alter this or avoid that, Thom Hartmann says that any action we take must begin with a radical change of consciousness, a becoming `awake in this very moment', because only from that place - `that here-and-now touching of the power of life' - will we be able to find the inner knowing, and the ability, to transform ourselves and others in ways which can and will transform the world. Thom offers many simple yet powerful ways of changing our whole way of thinking so that we can find and express `the power of life' in our everyday lives. He unites spirituality and practicality in a way that we feel is exactly what the world needs right now.
(Cygnus Review)
The book covers such topics as 'the death of trees', extinctions, climate change, young versus old cultures and power versus cooperation.
In the last section Thom looks at what we as individuals can do, looking not just at practical steps, but at how we need to change the way we view life, learning the secret of enough, empowering women, living as communities etc. I would recomend this as an interesting alternative to the usual, more scientific books on climate change. (Inspirational Friends Review).
You can buy this book from www.cygnus-books.co.uk for
£6.50 (RRP£9.99), or less if you get together with some friends.
