Produktbeschreibung
Hassan Rasheed's "The Wrong Turn" is a unique treatment of how humanity has evolved to the point of running amok on its precious Earth. It starts out by describing how pre-civilized life on Earth worked and, in many ways, tries to work at the present time. It then moves on to the strategy adapted by the civilized to achieve success at the individual and cultural levels and the effects of these strategies on the state of the natural process of the Earth. It takes the view that the current conditions are ripe for a catastrophe and the extinction of humanity and a host of other species in the process. Yet, it bravely accepts this future with the realization that Nature does not speak like we do but communicates by chemical reactions that follow the laws of physics. Humans do not have to carry the burden of guilt as many do for the upcoming biotic catastrophe. After all we are also reacting chemicals obeying the natural laws of physics. So, sit back and enjoy the ride with art, music, song and dance for we are on a rudderless ship and mother nature holds the secret to where we are going.
Autorenporträt
The Price of Leaving Eden poses the question of whether to follow the laws of nature or follow our hearts and desires for freedom. It would seem easy to follow our hearts and desires but we are prisoners of the natural world and the laws if physics. It is presented that we are following our hearts and desires but, in the end, will be causing our own demise. Building monuments and wallowing in our glories is nature's way of fulfilling its ultimate destiny. A destiny that is in conflict with the author's hopes and desires for the protection and promotion of life on Earth.
