From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"Through compelling personal stories, Hartmann presents a dramatic and deeply disturbing picture of humans as a profoundly troubled species. Hope lies in his inspiring vision of our enormous unrealized potential and his description of the path to its realization."
From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"Thom Hartmann seeks out interesting subjects from such disparate outposts of curiosity that you have to wonder whether or not he uncovered them or they selected him."
From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"Thom is a national treasure. Read him, embrace him, learn from him, and follow him as we all work for social change."
Tom says the White Horse Prophesy calls the powerful adversary of virtue (supposedly Russia) "Gogmagog."
In fact the name comes from an ancient mythic history of Britain by Geoffrey of Monmouth, in which the first humans to populate the island were refugee Trojans led by Brutus, whose name was lent to the island.
Indigenous peoples were a race of giants, the last of whom was hurled into the sea at Cornwall by, if memory serves, its first human duke. This last of the giants was Gogmagog.
By the way, the first large-scale study of resveratrol use by humans (appropriately enough in Chianti) shows no benefit in reducing heart disease, cancer, nor in promoting longevity.
As so often is the case, something which seems incredibly promising in vitro and in animal studies proves not so when applied to human beings.
