Review: One of the best books out there - This book will give you a fast tour of human history & even planet history. The conclusions are a bit startling, but not surprising. However, I was amazed at how concisely and eloquently Thom Hartmann managed to cover so much re the way humans have evolved through the thousands of years we have been here. As a student of anthropology I have to give Thom credit for packing so much easy to read and understand information into one relatively short book. If you have ever wondered how the world and it's people managed to get into the situation they are now in, this is probably one of the best books to read to help you understand, "What the heck happened?" This is not only an informative book, it is a practical book, in that it offers some solutions to many of the world's continuing problems. Although some might say that Thom is more optimistic than is warranted, considering the dimensions of the world's problems. And I certainly understand how some may say that, but I too share Thom's general optimism. The world is going thru 'a bad patch', (to put it mildly) and it can look a little dark & dismal at times. Like Thom, I do think there is a multi-faceted, dare I use the word 'awakening' going on. More of a remembrance, than anything new. (Nothing is new under the sun.) But the remembrance will definitely lead to a better and saner world if a sufficient number of people begin to understand, as Einstein said, "The world we have made, as a result of the level of thinking we have done thus far, creates problems we cannot solve at the same level of thinking at which we created them." Which means we have to take a Leap into what looks like unknown territory, but turns out to be the only way out of the mistaken thinking which put us in this box that looks like it has No Exit. When in truth, there is an Exit, and Thom points the way out, at least one of the ways. Many people seem to be heading in the same positive direction, and they are coming from very diverse quarters, from widely varying backgrounds & perspectives. (And it does not take that many right-minded people to change the world significantly, although you may think otherwise?) Thom Hartmann is one of those people heading in a positive direction. He is a breath of fresh air in all the unrelenting bad news that is constantly bombarding our ears, and sometimes even our eyes. If you want a fresh point of view, I rec'd, "The Last Hours of Ancient Sunlight". It could change your life, or at least your outlook.
Review: Remarkable In So Many Ways.... - I have come to know Thom Hartmann from many hours spent with five of his books. All have been enjoyable and inspiring to read and very engaging in style and content. All have offered insight that is both original and compelling. Clearly, with all his writing, Hartmann's intention is to empower his readers and to encourage change that could really make a difference. THE LAST HOURS OF ANCIENT SUNLIGHT examines many of the critical environmental issues facing our Earth. Hartmann reflects thoughtfully on how human society has managed to get so seriously off the track and out of touch with the natural world. He looks at our dangerous dependence on rapidly diminishing global reserves of oil and shows how it will cause ecological ruin and could lead to human suffering on a scale never before seen if we fail to adopt a wiser course based on the use of clean, renewable forms of energy. Hartmann says, "the primary job of community is to provide safety and security for all of its citizens, and a context in which they can daily touch the sacred." What a wonderful thing it would be if we could all embrace this noble sentiment. THE LAST HOURS OF ANCIENT SUNLIGHT provides a clear roadmap that can help each of us find a path for living that is both sustainable and affirming of all life on our planet. THE LAST HOURS OF ANCIENT SUNLIGHT is one of the most important of all the books I have ever read. I bought eight copies and gave them to people I care about. Anyone who is troubled by what is happening to our world will find clarity and understanding and hope in this book. Read it, then buy copies to share with your relatives and friends. You'll be glad you did.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ One of the best books out there

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Our precious Republican Democracy is ours to lose
*by T***1 on February 10, 2024*

Thom Hartman is a prolific writer, researcher and public radio personality that some bracket as a dangerous ultra liberal in the current Either-Or political climate of the US. He is blessed, or cursed, with an ADHD energy and a wide spectrum of interests, and he has readers and listeners across the USA as well as the EU. This book deserves a careful, slow and respectful read by all ages as the world, and the US, negotiate a Perfect Storm composed of 1. The Boomer generation disappearing into retirement, nursing homes, Social Security and forgetfulness, 2. The rising distrust by a majority of many Western citizens, in particular, voters in the US, of the major political parties, 2. A rising conflagration of indebtedness at country, state and personal levels while the global 1%ers amass a feudal control over all aspects of our lives, 3. A global population of nearly 9 Billion migrating to safer lands, 4. A contraction amidst rising disintegration of international trading and 5. A deep sense that our consumption patterns are finally breaking the stability of our climate. The author writes (p. 373): "In 1936- years before America turned its attention to fighting fascism in Germany-Franklin D. Roosevelt was concerned about the rise of a corporate feudalism here in the United States. In a speech in Philadelphia on June 27, he said: " Out of this modern civilization economic royalists carved new dynasties. New kingdoms were built upon concentration of control over material things. Through new uses of corporations, banks and securities, new machinery of industry and agriculture, of labor and capital -all undreamed of by the Fathers-the whole structure of modern life was impressed into royal service." Roosevelt suggested that human nature may play a part in it all, but that didn't make it tolerable. "It was natural and perhaps human," he said, " that the privileged princes of these new economic dynasties, thirsting for power, reached out for control over government itself. : As a result, Roosevelt said, " the average man once more confronts the problem that faced the Minute Man." Republicans of the day lashed out in the press and on radio, charging that Roosevelt was anti-American, even Communist. The book was first published in 1998, just as President Clinton quietly delivered the abolishment of President Roosevelt's 1933 Banking Regulations, the Glass-Steagall Act, that eventually may have been the facilitating momentum behind the Global financial crash of 2007-8. The book has ben re-published in 1999, 2004 and in 2018. It may be the research basis all US voters could benefit from reading as the world and US voters prepare for the 2024 US Presidential elections. History appear to be ready to repeat many of the prideful events of the 1920-30 era in the 2020-30 era - as the Boomers continue to hang on to power with 80 year old candidates, instead of regrouping with the younger generation.
