Synopsis: 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 childrens children. The inspiration for Leonardo DiCaprios web movie Global Warning, The Last Hours of Ancient Sunlightdetails what is happening to our planet, the reasons for our cultures blind behavior, and how we can fix the problem. Thom Hartmanns 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 Sunlighthelps us understand--and heal--our relationship to the world, to each other, and to our natural resources.
