Books with author Tony Schwartz

From the author of How Mother Nature Flowered the Fields. Spaceship Earth is a grand epic, dealing with the creation of the universe and the cyclic "Big Bang" theory. The story takes readers through one cycle, covering a period of approximately 70 billion years. Scientists discover the universe is a closed system that will eventually collapse upon itself. To survive, mankind must find a way to live through the "Big Bang" cycles for whether the universe is in the midst of the first or tenth cycle, the "Big Bang" will occur again and mankind's continued existence depends upon getting Earth out of harms way. In a desperate gambit to save all life on Earth, scientists develop a plan to turn Earth itself into a spaceship and executing this plan over billions of years requires that all nations across the world commit their resources and their determination, for once committed there can be no turning back. Spaceship Earth must either become a reality or all life on Earth will cease to exist.

“Ideal for family, preschool, and community library collections, How Mother Nature Flowered is very highly recommended for its originality, its entertainment value, and its informational content.” (Midwest Book Review) In How Mother Nature Flowered the Fields, Mother Nature tries to keep everything on Earth in balance. She found room on Earth for all her creatures and looked to mankind to maintain this balance, as they are her most intelligent creatures. When they went astray, Mother Nature found interesting ways to get them back on track.
