From the back cover: 'Our generation is living in the critical period when decisions concerning the future of humanity have to be made. At a moment when civilization and the global habitat itself are under threat, Dr. Mowat presents the warnings, perceptions and precepts of some who have spoken with prophetic voices over the past 150 years. Can a "creative minority" with a changed outlook and philosophy of life lead mankind away from moral and social decline, mutual aggression and rampant materialism, towards a new flowering of civilization?
'Dr. Mowar, a historian and author of books and articles on world history and contemporary affairs, finds hope in the example of those who, in the decadence of the Greco-Roman world, created new civilizations, as also in those men and women of our own time whose insight and experience have pointed a way forward.'
