While everything appears to be collapsing around us -- ecodamage, genetic engineering, virulent diseases, the end of cheap oil, water shortages, global famine, wars -- we can still do something about it and create a world that will work for us and for our children’s children.

Though updated with statistics and events through 2004, this reads like a prophetic treatise on the collapse of our industrialized culture which is entirely based on fossil fuels, a limited resource. No one seems to deny that oil is limited, but 2 narratives determine our actions today: Older and younger cultural beliefs. Older cultures valued generosity, leisure, and community. The younger cultures value productivity, accumulation and individualism. He gives many examples to illustrate his poin..more
Saw this author in the DVD '11th Hour.' He discusses the difference between living on 'current sunlight' and 'ancient sunlight.'
Current sunlight is the energy we are currently receiving each day from the sun to our food source, etc. Most of our human history involved living with 'current sunlight.'
Since the Industrial Revolution, we have used 'ancient sunlight. Ancient sunlight is the energy stored in the earth from fossil fuels, etc. Ancient sunlight is not an unlimited resource and has suppor..more
As of September 2008 we’ve officially entered the end of the oil age. Our economic system based on infinite growth has run into the limits of the physical world. Now that our social systems must rapidly adapt to a new reality of energy scarcity, we must pay special attention to the humans within those systems. Thom Hartmann’s Last Hours of Ancient Sunlight is a particularly lucid roadmap to a new social order by focusing on the actions an individual can take in the context of our ecological cris..more
It was such an amazing book to read. This book was required for my AP English summer reading, and when I started it, I immediately thought, 'Oh, no. This is one of those annoying books that the school picked out to torture us.'
For many that I know, this book was exactly that, but for me, it was a wake-up call. Since California is in such a big drought, I was aware of the problems of insufficient natural resourcea that we are facing worldwide. However, it wasn't until reading this book that I rea..more

A very easy to read book yet thought provoking book.
Our society is built on teh use of ancient sunlight, we fight wars over it, since it is a limited resource. The civilizations before us did the same and in the end collapsed because they forgot something vitally important..the we are part of nature and it is part of us.
There is no pyramid where we are at teh top.just circles within circles intertwining in more ways then we can understand fully.

The first third of this book outlines all the problems we've got going on, on this planet. Since this book was published originally in 1998, it covered ground I was pretty familiar with. No solutions were offered, though. Then, there was a section about culture and then a third section. Hartman is fond of 'Old Way' thinking, characterizing modern society as 'Young Way' thinking. According to him, primitive cultures had it going on. But what to do about the fact that we don't live in primitive cu..more

This is a half-baked treatise that uses global warming and peak oil as a rationale for 'spiritual' living. Actual science and studies are thin on the ground.
I really should have guessed that something was up when looking at the recommendations: they are from the authors of 'The Crack in the Cosmic Egg', 'Conversations with God', 'Conscious Evolution', 'The Shaman's Doorway', 'A Deep Breath of Life' and 'Voice of the Planet'. I read to the point where he started talking about the indoctrinating..more
I'm impressed. I read this primarily as a theologian; I'm fascinated by the notion that 'original sin' could stem from the moment 40.000 years ago when some tribe decided it was imperative to take more than it needed. I stumbled into Thom Hartman through an amazing movie, a documentary called 'I Am'. Also excellent.

A Thoughtful Search for a Silver Lining amid the Gloomiest Storm
It is quite normal to get deceived when you are ignorant, to get distracted when you are not free, and to become desperate when you can see no hope. These are the three states which Thom Hartmann challenges in his book, calling for an action by every individual to face a problem that undermines the existence of the whole of humanity. It is not yet another book about the environment and the depletion of nature's resources, as it is a..more
I was so irritated with certain of the author's premises that I found myself arguing as much as reading. But then it is good to read things that you don't agree with - it offers the opportunity to learn something new. I learned a different way of looking at the 'Older Cultures' - that is the tribal cultures. I learned a very interesting method of sustainable farming used in the Amazon by (I think) the Kayapo tribe. I really give the author credit for realizing that no specific measures can save..more
In “The Last Hours of Ancient Light”, progressive political commentator Thom Hartman promises to discuss the human condition, focusing on the insidious effects of Man on the environment.
To accomplish this overwhelming task, he utilizes historical and scientific arguments. However, there are identifiable inaccuracies in some of the information conveyed in the book that mar its credibility, as when he refers to Portuguese as reaching America in 1000 B.C. An expert in Portuguese history would imme..more
Thom Hartmann is an amazing surge of energy on the planet! He's a radio host, author and I don't know what else yet, but I was recently introduced to him by a good friend and bought this book to see if he was all he was cracked up to be. Well, this book is amazing; so much so that I bought another, 'Cracking the Code,' which I haven't started yet.
Very powerful read. Hartmann proposes that the only way things can change is if we change our culture, starting with ourselves. An inspiring and hopeful look at the oil crisis and climate change. He discusses culture at length and provides a vivid history for how we got into the mess we are in now. I learned a lot from this book and hope to make some small but significant changes in my life.
one of the finest books combining spirituality and sustainability
The best part of the book was the first third, or the section titled 'We're Running Out of Ancient Sunlight.' Hartmann does a good job in presenting a current climate change crisis through the ways our society has become dependent on fossil fuels, or ancient sunlight, to keep it going. To him, this parallels a Ponzi scheme, or a short term fix without realizing the long term consequences. Fossil fuels have resulted in exploding populations due to more food production, but they've also altered ou..more
Wonderful book. After finishing 'Mindfulness' and then reading 'Last Hours' I can see where mindfulness thinking will lead to a better world. By no longer thinking in terms of winners and losers and instead thinking in terms of relationship we, as a species, can live longer and save our world. The big problem/question that is not answered in this work is: how do we get the population down low enough so that current sunlight will be enough to make our world work?
Mindfulness will work as way to l..more

Not what a initially expected or bought it in the first place. As i thought it was a book about climate change, but as it turns out it's a book that's more than that.
Before moving any further I must say it's been quite an experience. Started reading this 4 years ago but somehow got distracted and didn't take up on the challenge of finishing it only one fine day 4 years later.
It is definitely spiritually motivated, however some of the chapters sounded very hippie like, which quite a unexpected..more
I did like the information in this book (though a little outdated) as well as how it was presented. Some of the ideas I didn't completely subscribe to, but as a whole it was a good book.
A book that starts with the global misuse and depletion of oil, that moves into tribalism, greed and how ADHD may have been a blessing.

It has been many years since I read this book, but it has stuck with me. It is on my list as something I would like to read again. I would recommend it to everyone, especially now.
It would be fair to say this is one of the only books or things i’ve read as an adult that has shifted my opinion so much in a matter of hours

Amazing book
I read this book so quickly! Such an easy read, I just flew through the chapters.
The first part of the book definitely shines a light on the damage our civilisation has had on the world, but don’t let that stop you from pushing on through. It isn’t a doom and gloom book, it also talks about ways which we can, everyday make a difference in this world, even in the smallest ways. This should be an essential book in the school curriculum. I found it inspiring and empowering, and I felt..more

Ancient sunlight refers to fossil fuels - coal, oil, and natural gas. These fuels are stores of sunlight that fell upon the earth hundreds of millions of years ago over a time period that itself lasted tens or hundreds of millions of years. Beginning only about 150 years ago humans began extracting and burning these fuels at increasingly obscene rates so that we now are threatened with their imminent exhaustion within mere years or at best decades.
The main focus of this book, however, was not (a..more

I pretty much inhaled this book (it helped that I had six hours at school watching my children fill out bubbles on standardized tests). Thom Hartmann is a radio host and author; this is the second of his books that I've read. He writes about complex topics with both simplicity and depth, which is no mean feat. I like him: he's smart, passionate, and quite respectful to those who disagree with his positions.
This book is broken into three parts. The first part is a distressing overview of how man..more
Entenda-se que a Antiga Luz do Sol é o petróleo. O autor começa alertar-nos para o perigo do fim do mesmo. Mas depois vai mais longe e acaba por analisar toda a sociedade moderna e compara-la com as sociedades tribais. A ideia de fundo é que as sociedades tribais são mais felizes porque vivem em comunidade e em equilíbrio com a natureza. (Fez-me lembrar o filme Avatar em que de um lado temos os nativos de Pandora a viver em comunhão com o próprio planeta e por outro os humanos a quererem minerar..more
This is one of the books from this year that I will probably have to read again someday. I read and discussed it, but I honestly don’t remember it as much as I’d like and I’m not sure if it’s because I read it too quickly, or because I’ve already heard these ideas before, or what. I will say that I do know that I appreciated the level of research and scholarship that went into this book. One of my biggest problems with Daniel Quinn’s Story of B, which expressed many of the same ideas, was the la..more
One of the few books I ever read that made me want to throw it away as far as possible because it angered the hell out of me. But since it was on my iPAD, I didn't. The guy has such an annoying way of combining facts that aren't even remotely linked just to prove his point. Like on location 1074:
'While we’re accumulating wealth and consuming resources at this incredible rate, thousands of people die from hunger worldwide every hour.'
Yes those two facts are true but are they linked? Would people..more

This is interesting! The problem illustrated and the solution proposed in this book, most probably, cannot be understood and implemented respectively by the same people.
So the first part describing the problem in a very rock-solid,scientific way. I can imagine it may strongly appeal to those who are pragmatic in their ways of thinking.
Then comes the next part where you have to meditate, communicate with nature and live a spiritual life where most religious people would like although Mr.Hartman..more

Call to action - take some responsibility for your part in the destruction or thriving of life on earth. You're either part of the problem or the solution - no innocent passive witnesses.
Need to change the story/idea/mythology of our culture.

Cold, depressing assessment of our planet's current energy situation and what lead up to it. Enjoyed the concept of all energy being light transformed, with the distinction between current light energy (crops grown, wind blowing, light shining *today*) versus past light energy (fossil fuels etc.) that are stored. Our 'progress', not just over the past 200 or so years, but Hartmann argues since ancient Mesopotamia (Epic of Gilgamesh), has been based off of either stolen light energy (slavery) or..more

“And so we see people who are spiritually disconnected, living in boxes and driving in boxes, perhaps once a year going 'out to nature' to get a small touch of what was once the daily experience of humans. These people seek escape. They sit in urban and suburban homes and feel miserable, not knowing why, experiencing anxiety and fear and pain that cannot be softened by drugs or TV or therapy because they are afflicted with a sickness of the soul, not of the mind.” — 5 likes
