Title: Disappointing
Review: This book is a great disappointment. While Quinn does indeed do a good job of tracing a lot of our contemporary problems to "civilization", he offers no realistic way out. His proposed solutions have been tried and failed. Nonetheless he protrays his "solutions" as if he has masterfully delivered to us a great and insightful way out of our dilemma. That type of writing, in fact, is why I gave the book two instead of three stars. The thing that I found most annoying about the book is the tone of almost condescending certainty that he displays about his diagnosis of and proposed solution to our present problems. It reminds one of the arrogance of the "academic elite" whose tunnel vision and blindness to other viewpoints has helped to spawn our cultural crisis in the first place.
