The Last Hours of Ancient Sunlight

Book • 1998
In 'The Last Hours of Ancient Sunlight,' Thom Hartmann delivers a stark critique of modern society's reliance on fossil fuels, which he terms 'ancient sunlight.

' The book is divided into three sections: it details the scale of the environmental problem, explains how modern culture has led to this dire situation, and proposes solutions for sustainable living and spiritual awakening.

Hartmann contrasts the unsustainable practices of city-state cultures with the more cooperative and sustainable ways of indigenous tribal cultures.

He argues for a need to reconnect with nature and adopt a more harmonious relationship with the Earth's natural rhythms to ensure a sustainable future for humanity.
