Civilizations rise, and they fall, often by their own hand. Ours, is no different... And this is how it happened. Living near a small town in Iowa, a young farm boy named Josh Peterson finds his life rocked by a series of reoccurring dreams. Considering them to be little more than the product of an overactive imagination, Josh finds himself jolted from reality one day as two figures suddenly emerge from these dreams in an effort to save his life. As the years pass, this event comes to shape Josh's life, preparing him for a crisis far beyond anything he had ever thought possible. In a world growing more dysfunctional with each passing year, he watches as greed and political corruption push civilization to the lip of an abyss, drawing him into the heart of this sweeping crisis. As things devolve to the point of no return, Josh discovers the men from his dreams are but messengers for something far beyond us which had anticipated this culminating event in all its misery, eons before the advent of modern man.Hinweis: Dieser Artikel kann nur an eine deutsche Lieferadresse ausgeliefert werden.
"Some Things They Forgot to Mention" cuts a fairly wide swath across a number of disciplines, drawing elements from history (ancient and modern), math, science, biochemistry, and engineering as it sketches something of a "spectrum" of who we are. The premise underlying this effort was that there are many average people "out there" who are both curious about how everything works, as well as concerned about where we are heading. Thus, the goal of this book was two-fold. First, to offer the reader some insights into a number of key aspects of science and the fundamental forces in nature that make life possible, as well as a look at those forces that run much of our modern world (both for good and evil). The second objective was to demonstrate that much of what we think we know about it all, and thus our sense of being the masters of our collective destinies, is clearly not what we've allowed ourselves to believe.
