HUMAN NATURE and the COSMOS (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781631031403)

What will become of us?

We are not rational beings. We are a war-prone species of ape armed with nuclear weapons, and our explosive population growth is driving a mass extinction event that threatens the very fabric of life on Earth.

In Human Nature and the Cosmos, Paul Bryan confronts these uncomfortable truths head-on, examining the fundamental forces reshaping our world and our species. This provocative work maps the complex relationship between humankind and the universal powers, offering an assessment of where we stand and where we might be heading.

Neither doom-laden prophecy nor doe-eyed optimistic look ahead, this book presents a framework for understanding humanity's place in the universe. It challenges readers to grapple with essential questions about our nature, our impact, and our future possibilities.

A thought-provoking exploration that will inspire deeper inquiry into the most pressing questions of our time: What does it mean to be human? How do we fit into the cosmic order? And what paths remain open to us as we navigate an uncertain future?

Essential reading for anyone seeking to understand the crossroads at which humanity now stands with the universe.
