PERSONAL SURVIVAL IN A WORLD GONE MAD

Carolyn Baker Reviews “Path Through Infinity’s Rainbow”

…In this review, I’d like to share how the book skillfully does this along with my experience of immersing myself in the pages of its sobering information and compassionate wisdom. Dedicated to his wife and partner, Ramona, her presence enhances the book with several stories which provide a delightful right-brain complement to Mike’s analytical research and commentary.

The Path Through Infinity’s Rainbow is a blending of reality and vision. While it’s true that the first page of the introduction states that “…the patient effort of five hundred human generations and the struggles of ten momentous millennia are in the process of being obliterated forever, as though they never occurred,” it is also true that the very first paragraph states:

This book is intended to empower you to navigate through the coming years of crisis, to survive and transform, and to participate in the creation of a new and sustainable political economy. It is a guide for thoughtful, knowledge-based action. (xiii)

Fortunately, Mike doesn’t convey any feel-good “hopeful, happy endings” but rather encourages the reader to seize her own opportunities for empowerment in the face of what some like Bill McKibben have called “the end of nature”.
