  <description><![CDATA[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.<p> 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 &quot;What the Average Person Can Do,&quot; including chapters titled, &quot;Turn Off the TV,&quot; &quot;The Modern-Day Tribe: Intentional Community,&quot; and &quot;Reinventing Our Daily Lives and Rituals.&quot; <em>--Gail Hudson</em></p>]]></description>

    <![CDATA[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&#8217;s children. The inspiration for Leonardo DiCaprio&#8217;s web movie Global Warning,<strong> The Last Hours of Ancient Sunlight</strong> details what is happening to our planet, the reasons for our culture&#8217;s blind behavior, and how we can fix the problem. Thom Hartmann&#8217;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, <strong>The Last Hours of Ancient Sunlight</strong> helps us understand--and heal--our relationship to the world, to each other, and to our natural resources.]]>

    <![CDATA[The world is reaching crisis point, as population growth escalates out of control, and species and cultures are being destroyed. With humans across the globe encroaching further and further upon Earth's resources, the realisation that the supply is finite has dawned and we now face the urgent dilemma of knowing how to create a sustainable future for ourselves. In this important book, award-winning author and international lecturer Thom Hartmann puts forward his lasting solution to our survival. Teaching us a new way of seeing, Hartmann introduces us to the lessons of our ancient ancestors - those which allowed sustainable living for many thousands of years but which we've forgotten. It is a call for consciousness combining spirituality and ecology that offers real hope for the future.]]>

    <![CDATA[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.<p> 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 &quot;What the Average Person Can Do,&quot; including chapters titled, &quot;Turn Off the TV,&quot; &quot;The Modern-Day Tribe: Intentional Community,&quot; and &quot;Reinventing Our Daily Lives and Rituals.&quot; <em>--Gail Hudson</em></p>]]>

    <![CDATA[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&#8217;s children. The inspiration for Leonardo DiCaprio&#8217;s web movie Global Warning,<strong> The Last Hours of Ancient Sunlight</strong> details what is happening to our planet, the reasons for our culture&#8217;s blind behavior, and how we can fix the problem. Thom Hartmann&#8217;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, <strong>The Last Hours of Ancient Sunlight</strong> helps us understand--and heal--our relationship to the world, to each other, and to our natural resources.]]>

    <![CDATA[The world is reaching crisis point, as population growth escalates out of control, and species and cultures are being destroyed. With humans across the globe encroaching further and further upon Earth's resources, the realisation that the supply is finite has dawned and we now face the urgent dilemma of knowing how to create a sustainable future for ourselves. In this important book, award-winning author and international lecturer Thom Hartmann puts forward his lasting solution to our survival. Teaching us a new way of seeing, Hartmann introduces us to the lessons of our ancient ancestors - those which allowed sustainable living for many thousands of years but which we've forgotten. It is a call for consciousness combining spirituality and ecology that offers real hope for the future.]]>

    <![CDATA[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&#8217;s children. The inspiration for Leonardo DiCaprio&#8217;s web movie Global Warning,<strong> The Last Hours of Ancient Sunlight</strong> details what is happening to our planet, the reasons for our culture&#8217;s blind behavior, and how we can fix the problem. Thom Hartmann&#8217;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, <strong>The Last Hours of Ancient Sunlight</strong> helps us understand--and heal--our relationship to the world, to each other, and to our natural resources.]]>

    <![CDATA[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&#8217;s children. The inspiration for Leonardo DiCaprio&#8217;s web movie Global Warning,<strong> The Last Hours of Ancient Sunlight</strong> details what is happening to our planet, the reasons for our culture&#8217;s blind behavior, and how we can fix the problem. Thom Hartmann&#8217;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, <strong>The Last Hours of Ancient Sunlight</strong> helps us understand--and heal--our relationship to the world, to each other, and to our natural resources.]]>
