0.0.0.0 Would Our Legacy Survive?

by Richard Graupner

The exploration takes us into the realms of a global catastrophe and its aftermath. Through the eyes of a now older woman, we explore her journey through the many challenges, tough decisions, and attacks on man's moral and ethical fibre in the battle for survival in the aftermath. It provokes us to explore many questions, not least of which is how we ourselves might react. If we were to be honest with ourselves, the answers may be startling indeed. Woven within this journey through time are references to aspects of life today and how, in the eyes of someone in the aftermath, these appear shallow and inconsequential. The alternative viewpoints proposed- working with wisdom seemingly lost to us in our current frenetic, cluttered lifestyles-will assist us in improving our free-thinking evaluation of life today. We explore too how the ancient civilizations and their knowledge simply vanished, providing some insight into this phenomenon. Could this also occur with the global civilization we have currently? Surely not, you might say. It appears, however, that we may be a far more fragile species than we would like to believe with, sadly, a potentially very thin veneer of modern humanitarian practices.

[Richard Graupner · Rating 4 out of 5]

As the author I would naturally want to rate the book highly and consequently this would be biased. In lieu of the rating perhaps it is more prudent then to provide a measure of background to the book. Although set as an "adventure" story in the aftermath of a global catastrophe the book explores aspects of how we have lived our lives prior to that event, with little thought to our circumstances, the powers behind it all, and what we are doing to oursleves and our planet. It also explores the possible decisions we may face in such an aftermath, what it might take to keep our humanity and knowledge base as far as possible, and also many of the aspects of life known to our forefathers but lost to us in our pursuit of "scientific" proof.
The book incorporates information and views from many well-known authors with these authors and their relevent books being identified for the reader. For those then who wish to pursue such information and knowledge further these book references will be invaluable as a start to such an exploration.
Be prepared for the book to challenge your current thought processes with questions you may ask yourself, such ass "What would I do in such a situation?", " Is our life on earth really this tenously balanced?", amongst others. It is meant to provoke us into looking at how we currently live, and what potentially we may be missing that would significantly improve how we intergrtae ourselves with this planet.
