Inside Flap
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 children’s
children. The inspiration for Leonardo DiCaprio’s web movie Global
Warning, The Last Hours of Ancient Sunlight details what is
happening to our planet, the reasons for our culture’s blind
behavior, and how we can fix the problem. Thom Hartmann’s
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.
