As the world’s population explodes, cultures and species are wiped out, and we have now reached the half-way point of our supplies of oil, humans the world over are confronting difficult choices about how to create a future which works. Thom Hartmann proposes that the only lasting solution to the crises we face is to re-learn the lessons our ancestors knew – that allowed them to live sustainably for hundreds of thousands of years – but that we’ve forgotten. The Last Hours of Ancient Sunlight addresses these questions, exposes the pervasive cultural “insanity” that is threatening life on Earth, and provides realistic answers.
“Thom Hartmann’s book is deeply engaging, readable, and uncannily focused…. An empowered and refreshing departure from the dry tomes of exasperating academia; at once revisionist in fact, generous in spirit, and too close to home for comfort.”

“Must reading for anyone who expects to around in the year 2040 when the last of the Earth’s oil reserves will be exhausted – or whose descendants may witness that fateful event.”

“I am grateful for this book because the more of us who heed Tom Hartmann’s passionate message, the more likely it is that our highest hopes, rather than our darkest fears, will come to pass.”
