The Last Hours of Ancient Sunlight by Thom Hartmann (2004, Paperback, Revised)

i picked this book up reluctantly given the subject matter. i thought it would leave me feeling depressed about the state of the earth. NOT AT ALL. i could not have been more wrong.

hartmann takes a truly novel (and much needed holistic) viewpoint, examining the cultural CAUSE of global warming, taking you through a history of our ancient ancestors, how they valued and cared for the earth (and by extension themselves), and why things have gone amuck.

for anyone who was touched by an inconvenient truth, this book will exponentially broaden your horizons. it changed the way i THINK. i can't say that for many books.

calling for a cultural revolution rather than another recycling bin, the last hours of ancient sunlight is a must read for anyone who breathes!
