This is one of those books where I NEED a sixth star!!!
This is so on the money, it is not true. We really need to understand that, "This Civilisation is Finished". If you don't agree, read this book and let me know where the flaws are in Rupert Read's excellently argued position.

This man gets it!
There is so much in this book that is worth reading and so many new insights into our likely future -- and, be warned, there's little good news UNLESS we change quickly and decisively.

Considering that this book only has 85 pages of actual text (excluding notes) this is an amazingly condensed argument.
I could find nothing to question in the setting out of the problems that we face and, although, I found some of the solutions would need more work to be practical, I am struggling to offer better ones. We are indeed, in a mess.
This work is particularly interesting in its explanations as to why learned people can accept climate change and persist with 'continue as we are' policies. The changes we need to make are frightening; in the sense, that they are many and we all feel comforted by continuity.
This is one of those books that I should really review, not the day that I finished reading it, but a week, possibly a month later when, the vast amount of information has had time to settle in my mind.
It may well require re-reading (possibly, more than once!)… (plus d'informations)

This tome is more generally focussed upon philosophy in everyday life. It is thought provoking and, the only section that I couldn't follow was the last section on abstract art. Not that I am against the genre, I just couldn't follow the logic of the argument.
Other than that, BRILLIANT.
