Well said. I think why I am compelled to read this book is because it is the first reading I have done that forces me to think through how radical this change will be and is also forcing me to prepare. I am a bit of a newbie here. I had not realized that such radical change was coming so quickly (my first awakening was reading Jeff Rubin’s book – “why the world is about to get a whole lot smaller” 1 month ago). I knew it was coming, but thought I had much more time to prepare. It is a lot to…

I knew it was coming, but thought I had much more time to prepare. It is a lot to take in. I do not fear the change, in fact part of me welcomes it as it is about the only way we will reverse our damaging ways, but I worry most about how this change will effect my 2 young daughters and what I can do to make sure I do everything I can to prepare them for this radically different life ahead of us.

I am still progressing through the book, but I admit that the editorial mistakes are troubling to me too, I have been trying to dismiss them so far, but they do not inspire confidence.

Hi Travis,<br />
<br />
I started reading this book as well, but had a different experience. I appreciate a lot of what Carolyn Baker has contributed via her blog, and was really looking forward to this book, because I think it's such a vital topic.<br />
<br />
I was disappointed by some of the mistakes that made it through the editorial process, and by some of the ideas expressed - some of which I didn't agree with, and some of which I think were expressed a little too simplistically.<br />

Hi Travis,<br />

<br />
Still, I plan to return to the book when I'm able and read further. In spite of all I've said, I still believe I will find some valuable insights. I like Sarah Edwards' intro.<br />

Thanks Travis for recommending this book & posting the forward.<br />
I stand both in awe of the miracle & diversity of life,<br />
and I bow in grief to the harm that is inflicted on the earth & its beings.<br />
May we co-create a new vision & walk together while riding the waves of wonder & grief.
