About the Book
A ground-breaking work on nature and humanity. This book deepens the spirit of Silent Spring, and of Walden—into human conservation and healing. It reveals the stunning breakthrough into Nurturome. It breaks open, then completes our view of evolution; it reveals the Second Missing Link. It redefines and redirects the Environmental Movement—the nature-human debate. It dispels the issue of nature vs. culture, and other key myths of 'civilization', Modernism, and Postmodernism. It reveals the Origin and Emergence of Alien Being—Alienism. It presents the Revelation of Selflifeworld. It reveals the Origins of Egoself that comes to displace whole self and whole mind. Over one hundred-fifty subheadings mark more surprises on the journey! A vast pot-pourri for laymen, professionals, and students!

The author, L. S. Heatherly, has done an admirable job of orchestrating a mind-expanding series of short essays ...convincing and thought-provoking ideas ...that show the reader how ...and why[our]separation from nature began ...and continues to exist. In an account similar to Daniel Quinn's Ishmael ideas,...he convincingly debunks many of the great myths that drive our modern human thinking ...and shows how ...only through civilization have [humans] achieved a disconnect [from nature] ...highly readable ...adult readers can [opt to] read in short sections ...suited to a high school or college audience with a good teacher or instructor ...[a] wonderful and uplifting [treatise] of a new spiritual redemption to be used in general environmental education studies [despite] a negative vision of the future ...

I commend [the Author] on the diligence of [his] investigation ...engaged in what Thomas Berry calls the 'great work' of restiring harmony between humans and the rest of nature.

June 15, 2009: I continue to be amazed at the clarity with which L.S. Heatherly presents what was, for me, incomprehensible human relationships and foibles. I've come to rely upon "The Last Human Spring" as my guide to life. The book exudes enlightenment. The prose is eminently readable and, in the best philosophical manner, the reader is guided along the path while being encouraged to think independently.
-EnlightenedRaconteur
"THE LAST HUMAN SPRING is an absorbing, enlightening, and fascinating work. The ideas are as important as any I've ever read or studied. This is an amazing philosopher. I dare say that his work may become as important as any by Darwin or B. F. Skinner. This book has had a profound influence on my interpretation of the human condition; and I am committed to getting it into the minds and hands of the world. Bless Heatherly's soul for forming these ideas and publishing them."

About the Author
Intensely committed by age 13 with fostering his unconventional, original, naturalistic mind, consciousness, and being, the author, largely charting his own unique education, was rewarded at age 33 with a breakthrough revelation (similar to Rousseau’s “illumination”), pulling his original thinking, with new breakthroughs, into a complete system of philosophical thought. Overwhelming at first! But, after 11 years, the most seminal, provocative, revolutionary book to laymen and professionals, possibly, ever written! The Last Human Spring is an unprecedented, historical event for the West: one volume revealing what we are and why we are (underneath modernity’s sci-technic and commercial-overlays) -- Natural, human nature, being, spirit, identity, and reality manifested within a natural, whole self, lifeworld, and nurtureculture, all authentic and belonging to us. This book offers the conceptual-spiritual-ontological journey into the rediscoveries and recoveries constituting our renurturalization, our renaturalization, into Earth’s play of life, hopefully, avoiding looming, human decimation.
