Coming Full Circle How Americans Finally Got Things Right!

There is a lot that our U.S. biology and history books haven't told us. COMING FULL CIRCLE (CFC): How Americans Finally Got Things Right! is an eco-novel series (in 3 books) that sets the record straight. What is the significance of the title? Life is represented as a circle because it is a constant loop. The idea of life as a circle exists across multiple religions and philosophies. This belief was prevalent throughout the early Indigenous Peoples of Earth. Unfortunately—owing to what some may term "progress"—this fervent belief in the circle of life is much less common in today's world. Throughout COMING FULL CIRCLE, Mariah and I emphasize our lifelong beliefs in the sanctity and equality of all living things—both human and non-human. Our belief system encompasses all races, religions, cultures, and lifestyles—but especially those of the Indigenous—or Native—Peoples of the world. What is your goal with Coming Full Circle? Bringing readers to the understanding that we all are "part of" and not "apart from" our natural world. Then—based on this realization—helping readers comprehend that we have both the moral obligation and profound ability to solve our climate change and biodiversity loss crises. Coming Full Circle has been called an eco-novel. What does that mean to you? COMING FULLCIRCLE is a story about the ecological/environmental underpinnings of U.S. history from colonial days to contemporary times. What are some of the changes seen by the different generations, in the earth and in people's attitudes toward the environment? Without a doubt, since the environmental "regulatory heydays" of the late 1960's and early 1970's, we have seen numerous and significant improvements in the local quality of our air and water. Now we must realize that this fight is far from over and we have to expand our threat level to preserving the long-tern quality of human life on Earth. It is now time to transform our world from the "Industrial Revolution" to the "Renewables Revolution". Do you feel we owe the disconnect from nature to progress? Why or why not? Yes, especially the long-held and still prevalent belief that man has a "divine right to maintain dominion over earth's creatures". In order for humankind to continue on this planet, we must replace this concept with the belief many of our Indigenous Peoples espoused—that humans must live in respect of and harmony with all of our fellow non-human inhabitants.
