Mr. Burr has effectively and thoroughly outlined current available facts revealing the evidence of our current culture’s imminent demise due to the gradual collapse of virtually all the systems that support humanity on Earth. He has compiled the evidence, working all of the arguments to their conclusion – we are at the crossroads of a change. Living as we’ve known it MUST change or we WILL destroy the environment that supports us and we will take the few remaining creatures on the planet out with us! With his exhaustive bibliographical collection of current thought, research and fact he leads us compassionately and with reasonable good humor to this one devastating conclusion.

If you’ve known this for yourself, this one single book can serve as a ‘bible’ that meticulously and clearly notes chapter, verse and source of virtually every scribe who’s made it their work to reveal the ecological destruction going on at the hands of humanity.

But as he hints at the beginning, delivering doom and gloom is not the sum purpose of this work. And he holds true to that promise… after slogging through the immense volume of data, the lengthy and thorough bad-news preamble ends well, very well indeed… you are rewarded with the meaty message of Mr. Burr – humanity knows how to do it right, has done it right for hundreds and hundreds of thousands of years, we’ve done it right for many, many times longer than this relatively little period of exponential growth of our current culture AND we can continue where we left off!

The most successful species the Earth has born, we’ve lived effectively on the planet for so, so long. All the evidence points to ancient ‘pre-historical’ humanity having done this devoid of our current multitude of whole system threats churning in our hearts, minds, emotions, lifestyles and intentions… and that ‘way’ has always been an option, just an option that has never been embraced.

By piecing together the facts as we know them of pre-history man, Mr. Burr comes to the conclusion that, contrary to the ‘primitive savage’ scenario we’ve believed, ancient human culture held in their hands, minds and hearts the secrets to a perfect marriage with the planet that mothered them into a mutual harmony that lasted for millions of years. It’s only been the last few thousand years that we’ve been off track, so far off track that the consequences visible to us are truly staggering.

As alarming world news is now, his fresh, brilliant, new message is that the answers that served humanity well for so long before these times can still serve us well. In fact, combining the best of both world’s, it could be so great, we’d look on the last few thousand years as a mere hiccup.

As he puts it, it’s arguably foolish to attempt to fix our mess employing the mindset that created it… the very mindset responsible for the endlessly frustrating ecological situation we find ourselves in. Let it go, it’s going to be thrown out at any rate, Mother Earth is doing that quite dramatically now. The challenge is to start a better, completely new way based on time-tempered and proven successful track record of the ancients. CultureQuake’s message is putting an important first step forward in this new direction. Read it now while you have the luxury of ‘testing the waters’ of this fresh new approach to living in harmony in the Earth… it may not be long before it’s your children’s only option!

A thoroughly researched and well-indexed book. Great for those who are new to the idea of how people in our culture live beyond the human definition. It also serves as a great reference for those already “in” on the taker/leaver concept. Chuck writes in a simple, easy to read style without a lot of flowery conjecture. This is a fact-filled book that I believe I will use as a reference for years to come.
