"The Final Empire," by Wm. H. Kötke. Chap. 1: PATTERN OF THE CRISIS

ronjon — Wed, 23 Apr 2008 01:07:00 -0700

This is Chapter 1 of SCIY Editor Wm. H. Kötke's recently reprinted "Final Empire: The Collapse of Civilization and the Seed of the Future. It's so relevant to SCIY's core concerns that, with William's permission, we're going to be serializing all 20 chapters here on SCIY (at an average rate of a chapter per week). The reprinting has been receiving excellent reviews:

Carolyn Baker in her national daily web site says: "Stunning" "A Masterpiece." "It was thirteen years ahead of its time. Now it is even more relevant. The book that explains the cultural basis of the present planetary crisis. William Kotke has brilliantly articulated what I would not only describe as an ‘encyclopedia of collapse’ but has skillfully depicted a vision of possibility imbedded within the core of apocalypse."

A review at Amazon.Com said: "This is an incredibly well documented and prophetic book. Prophetic in the sense that when I first read it over ten years ago, I was skeptical of many predictions. They have all turned out to come true. This book is indigenous and inspiring in the sense that it offers practical earth friendly strategies that affirm the possibility that man is part OF nature, not apart FROM it. Well written! Real history and facts, vitally relevant, and hence empowering! ..."

This first installment includes the Title Pages, Acknowledgements, Introduction, Table of Contents, and Chapter 1 (of 20): Pattern of the Crisis.

I hope you enjoy reading this as much as I have,
