      About This Book

      In this epic journey of imagination, internationally acclaimed cultural historian William Irwin Thompson weaves a fascinating tapestry out of fantasy, intellect, and spiritual exploration. Drawing on mythologies ranging from Mexico and Central America to Ireland and the Middle East, "Islands Out of Time" portrays in drama and romance the last days of Atlantis, whose attempt to overreach nature leads to its final demise. This study of the nature of evil and arrogance in science and religion offers a deeper understanding of the precarious choices our own society must make in the imminent future.
      Thompson's vision describes a new kind of planetary consciousness.
