From the Publisher

By Maury Albertson, Ph.D. (Dr. Albertson is former director of research at Colorado State University and co-founder of the Peace Corps.) " 'In the Beginning' is the first of 'The Sacred Science Chronicles' and looks at the heritage of our past. With their limited belief system, today's scientists cannot answer many questions of ancient times. If one expands the paradigm, our ancient past can better be understood. 'In the Beginning' does this very successfully by incorporating conventional science, spiritual knowledge, and knowledge from the ancients to help explain humanity's mysterious past."

3.0 out of 5 stars I have mixed feelings about the relative value of this book., May 8, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: In the Beginning: Mysteries of Ancient Civilizations (The Sacred Science Chronicles Volume I) (Sacred Science Chronicles) (Sacred Science Chronicles) (Paperback)

On the plus side, much of the information presented is from interesting sources (about half of them I've read and will be looking for most of the rest), the author pulls together information over a longer time frame than most of the similar subject books I've read, and the overall content really encourages you to stretch the limits of your imagination and test your willingness to begin to believe that we don't know as much as we think we do about our own history and accomplishments. I might actually even recommend this book as a "primer" on the subject - a significant amount of information to tickle the imagination but not much depth. On the minus side, the book reads more like a collection of research notes rather than a narrative - often confusing and poorly organized, with contradicting information and random statements that don't have anything to do with the subject at hand (and if I had found the word paradigm one more time I had promised myself I would throw the book away - luckily it didn't appear again until a few pages from the end so I finished the book anyway). From time to time I had the feeling that the author didn't know much about the subject himself - but I thought he should get points for tackling a difficult and non-main-stream subject. Bottom line - I don't think the author fulfilled his stated purpose but there was something strangely fulfilling about the book anyway. I have the second book, which I am looking forward to reading, and I'm looking for the third book of the series.
