<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>In the first work of nonfiction to build on the ideas behind his bestselling "Ishmael" books, Quinn argues that, if humanity is to survive, we must move beyond the exploitation of the planet, other species, and other human beings that is fundamental to our concept of civilization.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>In <b>Beyond Civilization</b>, Daniel Quinn thinks the unthinkable. We all know there's no one right way to build a bicycle, no one right way to design an automobile, no one right way to make a pair of shoes, but we're convinced that there must be only one right way to live -- and the one we have is it, no matter what. <p/><b>Beyond Civilization</b> makes practical sense of the vision of Daniel Quinn's best-selling novel <b>Ishmael</b>. Examining ancient civilizations such as the Maya and the Olmec, as well as modern-day microcosms of alternative living like circus societies, Quinn guides us on a quest for a new model for society, one that is forward-thinking and encourages diversity instead of suppressing it. <b>Beyond Civilization</b> is not about a "New World Order" but a "New Personal World Order" that would allow people to assert control over their own destiny and grant them the freedom to create their own way of life right now -- not in some distant utopian future.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"<b>Beyond Civilization</b> is the most solid, real, practical, and you-can-really-do-it book you'll ever find on how to save the world. Daniel Quinn has again proven he is one of our century's greatest and most insightful thinkers. The re-tribalization of the world: what an extraordinary possibility!" <br>-- Thom Hartmann, author of <i>The Last Hours of Ancient Sunlight</i> <p/>"As always with Quinn, his argument is crystalline and reads like a thriller. He shows us that getting 'beyond' the mess of civilization doesn't mean changing human nature or setting off a revolution. We need only breathe new life into an ancient human strategy for survival. Quinn's plan is inspiring and devilishly clever." <br>-- John Briggs, author of <i>Seven Life Lessons of Chaos</i><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>DANIEL QUINN is the award-winning author of <b>Ishmael</b>, <b>The Story of B</b>, and <b>My Ishmael</b>. His Web site address is www.ishmael.org. He lives in Houston, Texas.
