"A sparkling constellation of clear thinking in which the reader with a vigorous zest for inquiry will not be disappointed."King Alfred the Great largely inspired Hathaway's philosophical lifestyle of Sylvanism. Prominent people, such as Voltaire, Edward Gibbon, and Charles Dickens, believed Alfred was the finest king and noblest character in all of history. It is also noteworthy that work and love is the motto and foundational premise of this commonsense philosophy."Relevant and vitally practical, the Sylvan way of living is predicated upon submission to nature in defiance of those who wish to digitize humanity. Sylvan's twelve tenets, a peace model, civic virtues, and a generous chapter dedicated to maintaining excellent health are only a few of the reasons to read this expression of wit and wisdom."Indeed, The Tribe of Sylvan; Threshold of European Man's Ascendance is a pristine and timely North Star."

"The answer came to me in a quiet thunderclap, beautiful and soft yet with an ultraviolet intensity that I could countenance. After that unforgettable Tuesday afternoon, I lived in a glowing golden cloud for weeks," says Hathaway. That bright experience inspired the essay Why We Are Here and the other entertaining essays in this book, which will be a friendly companion to those who love good reading.The first essay, A Vacation in Time, is a picturesque description of a train ride through villages, towns, cities, and the beautiful countryside of the British Isles and its similarities to our perception of time, which Hathaway calls the simultaneity of events.In the two insightful essays, How to Eat and How to Sleep, Hathaway suggests slight changes to our eating and sleeping habits that he used to overcome a disorder or two previously thought incurable.How Animals Communicate contains truths from which we have become alienated, of which the fauna continuously and patiently reminds us, beckoning us to nature as only they can.The Warmth of the Sun is an extraordinary beam of light, brilliantly illuminating a darkened room. Here, mysteries of irreducible human development and relationships are word-painted with artistic ingenuity. Its message is invaluable as we seek civilizational eminence and individual happiness.The three vignettes sparkle "in crimsons and in purple and in gems." One is philosophical, one enchanting, one futuristic, yet all are expressions of truth and beauty, as we believe art should be.This book, this vigorous blossoming of the author's quest to recognize value in a world so often gray and cold without forsaking realism, is somewhat heroic. His engaging tempo of thoughts sets a rhythm that stimulates curiosity and wonder while entertaining us with elegant wit and wisdom, leaving the reader refreshed and satisfied. So, Hardcastle Publishing cordially invites you to read and enjoy this little book of splendid essays.About the cover art:French impressionist Pierre-Auguste Renoir painted Luncheon of the Boating Party in 1881.

Like an X-ray, The Hathaway Equation penetrates taboos and mores that blockade progress. It is a proclamation from a pioneer and pathfinder--a message dreamt of only by a visionary who arrives from nowhere in times of peril to show us the way home.A generous gift to all people of every race and tongue, from the highest to the very lowest stations of life, it is an elegant yet simple message. Once read, answers to perplexing riddles about the ecosystem are apparent, whereas before, they may have been invisible to the unawakened mind. Of course, most revealing is an efficient "plan to halt and reverse ecological collapse."Here we find an archway to a new epoch wherein the architectural concepts of our cities evolve from a tangled morass of the inanimate, in which we feel a lifeless alienation, to workplaces and homes of thriving life.Within this new realm, transportation systems no longer entomb forest, field, meadow, river, and stream. Yet travel is profoundly safer, faster, more efficient, cleaner, attuned to nature, and even relaxing. All this while creating an economic bonanza.According to Hathaway's equation, these innovations manifest in the real world as we first change inwardly by living truly healthy lifestyles. From this beginning, solutions to our most pressing challenges may slowly materialize over the decades--a recrudescence of flora and fauna, population management without eugenics or oppression, and the assumption of our proper place among nature.What is more, The Hathaway Equation unites those who debate climate change and global warming against a single foe, for both are ecological symptoms of a more ominous issue, which few people are discussing. Perhaps, this is why no plan prevails to address this glaring existential threat. And so many people have accepted the demise of Earth as their fate.Hathaway has a compellingly different vision. He has created an elegant plan to halt the global destruction of the flora and fauna while restoring them to their organic norm. We feel you will agree that The Hathaway Equation is feasible, transparent, and imperative. It may be the lifestyle of the twenty-second century. But we must begin implementing it now.So Hardcastle Publishing cordially invites you to read and enjoy this urgent message today.About the cover artTiger in a Tropical Storm was painted in 1891 by French post-impressionistic artist Henri Rosseau. Rosseau's masterpiece was selected for the cover of this book because it symbolizes the ecological tempest sweeping Earth's flora and fauna. We hope the ideas you find here will quiet the storm.
