title: The Earth Chronicles Handbook: A Comprehensive Guide to the Seven Books of The Earth Chronicles
author:  Zecharia Sitchin 
description: "You can't know where you are going without knowing where you've come from--if you disagree, then just look at the news to see what I'm talking about. Zecharia Sitchin's universal field theory of humanity could, and for his millions of readers it has, in and of itself, started the peoples of the world on the road to unity. Reading his work explains so much, it makes sense, it feels right, you name it. And it's very entertaining because the story of mankind's creation is the most interesting story in history, no?" (<i>Monte Farber, reviewer</i>)<br /><br />" . . . invaluable for keeping the reader on top of the mass of information contained in Sitchin's books. If you haven't yet ventured into the <i>Chronicles</i>, here's your launching pad." (<i>Nexus New Times Magazine, Vol. 16, No. 4, June-July 2009</i>)<br /><br />"For anyone just getting started on Zecharia's work, I suggest reading <i>12th Planet</i> and <i>Genesis Revisited</i> and keeping this handbook close. For those interested in facts, this is a must for getting to the bottom of our human history." (<i>Rahasya Poe, Lostus Guide magazine, July 2009</i>)<br /><br />" . . . a 'must' for collections already owning most of [Sitchin's] treatises. New Age libraries will find it a powerful conclusion." (<i>The Midwest Book Review, Oct 2009</i>)<br /><br />"Fans of Sitchin will greatly appreciate this condensation of information; those unfamiliar with his work may discover ideas of interest to explore further. . . Open this book anywhere and begin to dream." (<i>David Paulsen, Ekaha Enchanments, Hawaii, Feb 2010 &gt;</i>)<br /><br />". . . serves as a handy reference book for anyone interested in the study of ancient man and his mythologies and religions. . . . an essential addition to your Ufological library." (<i>Sean Casteel, Conspiracy Journal, May 2010</i>)
