This book is a total surprise... and a good one at that! If a history as interesting as this were taught in school, I would have done much better in my history classes. It amazes me just how much has been left out of our "accepted" history. There are global "catastrophes" that bring civlizations around the globe to an end in a very short time. Or as the book describes, times of life's renewal. One surprise -- there are many -- is that historical writings, religious writings and mythology all discuss these periods, but somehow they aren't discussed in schools and even universities. Another surpise is that natural disasters, terrorism and war have been undergoing a steady climb from the late 1700s to the present -- a sort of climax is occuring. Even more surprising is that when natural disasters go up, war and terrorism go down, and vice versa -- we and Nature take turns in acomplsihing the same objective. I wouldn't want to ruin it for you as to why, but you should read it. The most important thing is that this book is very timely, and it explains why the world is the way it is today. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!

This work is history at its finest! I've always loved to read about history, but this book is much more than just another book, it is "the living monument to life," surely to escalate to the greatest accomplishment for humanity of this century. I was extremely surprised, delighted, and astounded. As a previous librarian, and research scientist, I've never read a book so deep in understanding, so interesting, and so complete. In Defense of Nature-The History Nobody Told You About is authoritatively written by a historian with knowledge of the interdisciplinary sciences. How refreshing! This "book of books" provides tremendous insight that other works attempting to understand world and human history have failed to provide. What really touch me, I mean, really enlightened me, was to learn of the Ultimate Lesson of Humanity. I was inspired, to say the very least, when Pasichnyk concludes with an observation at the end of this masterpiece, in reference to civilization: "Nature, hostile to all waste, tirelessly reabsorbs the smallest remnants of anything which once lived and uses them again to produce more life." What caused me to shiver was the evidence he presents which substantiates the next historical period for the cycles of life-renewal. We all know what that means: overwhelming, historical evidence that IT's coming up soon-the Big One! Yet, this masterpiece concludes on a positive note, and brings hope to humanity. Pasichnyk boldly ushers forth the ultimate condition that brings world peace-an end to construction of buildings and bombs, the destruction of wilderness, and turning the weapons of war into plowshares and pruning hooks to establish wilderness. This is our most selfish and self-preserving act, this is in humanity's best interest to do. Also, this is altruistic, and this is most loving, and it will be humanity's greatest triumph over global degradation. The book really makes sense, of everything! Count me in!
