(More customer reviews)Stephen Hawking move over there's a new theoretical genius. This book, both volumes, is so all encompassing in its scope it leaves one breathless. To take so many different sciences and weave them into a new fabric of reality is astonishing. There are answers to so many questions in science today that have left scientists baffled. It covers the earth sciences, astronomy, deep ecology, physics, environmental issues, evolution, extinction, tektites, unusual meteorites, life's ability to transcend entropy, and so much more. Of particular interest is a new model of the Earth that resolves the shortcommings of present theories. New theories on black holes, galaxies, the planets, comets, and so on are included. The dinosaurs really became extinct due to ionizing radiation, not the proposed impact. Planets and galaxies actually eject objects. This review could not possibly do justice to this masterpiece. Moreover, it is uniquely written to be accessible to both the scientifically minded and the layperson who is not so scientifically inclined. Buy it or at least read it, get your library to put in their collection.

The Vital Vastness - Volume One: Our Living Earth (v. 1)Here are only some of the topics that are presented in The Vital Vastness ? Volume One: Our Living Earth. The Earth has a myriad of characteristics typical of a living entity, not just the biosphere (as proposed in the Gaia Theory), but the entire Earth. The Earth is much more dynamic than theorized, and life maintains its dynamics, electrical environment, and magnetic field. The Earth is comprised of a system of fields maintained by life, and so, this new model is referred to as the Field-dynamical Earth Model (FEM), our living Earth. There are many problems with our current model of the Earth that this new model resolves. From the quantum level up to the planetary scale, life creates stability. Much of the entropy (disorder, decay and randomness) on Earth, including our own bodies, is the result of a lack of abundance and diversity of life. Evolution is not the result of competition between species, or "survival of the fittest," as suggested by Darwin, but rather, the result of genetic mutation caused by ionizing radiation and other factors. The dinosaurs did not become extinct as a result of a comet or asteroid impact, but by planetary destabilization and ionizing radiation emanating from the Earth itself. Much, much more is explored in this volume, yielding a whole new paradigm, and world view..Throughout both volumes the conclusions are clear, life has dominion over the Cosmos, and we need a new mind-set in our exploration of it. The most important direction for humanity is to understand that the care and nurturing ? love ? of life is of the utmost importance if we want a world filled with peace and plenty. The last book in the series reveals the prehistory and history of human interaction with the Living Earth and Cosmos, disclosing the unrest and destabilization when we do not know of life's paramount importance.
