com and I had already read most of the selections online It s a mixed bag as you might expect but well worth a read I d suggest checking it out from the library or reading the articles on the website as opposed to buying the book however 9781585427000 This collection of essays provides a optomistic perspective for the future of the human race A few essays lacked but for the most part they all were very intriguing I read this book while traveling Peru and some essays gave me a deeper understanding of where I was going and the people I met 9781585427000 Despite it s name Toward 2012 doesn t focus so much on the 2012 date itself I have to admit I didn t really get into a few of the essays in this book but overall I really liked the positive outlook and practical ideas it gave I especially enjoyed the chapter on community and found it to be very inspiring 9781585427000 A nice array of essays dealing with shamanism spiritualism religion and the like A few quirky and off beat essays to fill in the spaces between some extraordinarily insightful and thoughtful pieces 9781585427000 A very good book about the beginning of the new age of enlightenment 9781585427000

Toward open world object detection I cringe to give this book only 1 star I don t think it s fair b c I don t think I am really qualified to critique a book like this but given the current rating system it s the only honest rating I can give it 9781585427000 Toward 2012 Perspectives on the Next Age is a collection of articles originally published on Reality Sandwich the brainchild of one of my favorite writers and psychedelic thinkers Daniel Pinchbeck He serves as one of the editors of the book along with Ken Jordan who launched SonicNet. Kindle Toward 2012 ford In all honesty this is one of the best books I have read in a long while Reality Sandwich puts out a lot of great writing and at the same time a lot of not so great writing That s basically what you get with this book I would say that 30% of the book made me say Seriously now what and the other 70% was really enlightening That s what I have come to expect from the web site so that s how I approached the book.
