Paradigm For a New Age

This series of seven books by Thomas Gillman serve as valuable guidelines not only for developing leadership, but also for members of society who are concerned about their place in the world and about the direction in which our civilization is evolving.

With great insight Gillman has gathered information from a carefully selected array of resources and integrated it in a manner that provides a new and hopeful perspective on humanity. This perspective more clearly defines who we are as human beings; it answers questions about why we are here and determines what our purposes are in terms of the unique characteristics of living matter.

If willing to accept the responsibility of directing our own fate, there is no limit to where human evolution will take us. For civilization to survive, we must constructively deal with the serious economic, cultural, and environmental problems of the present. That requires arriving at a consensus and instituting some ethical standards by which our society can live without conflict. If at the same time, we can adopt some worthwhile goals for humanity, we will then be ready to step out into the cosmos and begin to populate it with living matter.

This series of seven books is designed to establish the groundwork for an understanding of the actual properties of human nature. Gillman recounts not only how our culture has evolved and how it is changing, but he also provides many insights into the purposes and goals of human existence. He also offers much hope for mankind's continued evolution toward a more rational and caring society as we move into the future.
