Ending The Bronze Age

ENDING THE BRONZE AGE, or ETBA for short, may well prove to be the most extraordinary, powerful, portentous, and internationally beneficial tract to have emerged from the horrors, bloodshed, oppressions and ashes of the 20th Century. For, out of that savage maelstrom there arose a new field that provides the fundamental and practical essentials for a far better millennium, and ETBA provides the introduction to and main elements of that development.

Its concepts and principles arose during the World War II era, evolved during the World War III (aka 'Cold War') era, and accelerated with the intense research, development and writing of 1963 to 1999, which culminated in 1999 with publication of PRINCIPIA IDEOLOGICA / A Treatise On Combatting Human Malignance. That 550-page magnum opus is the basic, comprehensive resource of the major new field of Ideologics (eye' dee oh low' jics) -- of its foundaions, principles, and applications to National and International Affairs, War/Peace, Defense, Arms Control, and especially Terrorism.

ETBA is a chapter by chapter digest of the PRINCIPIA, provided in response to urgings by colleagues at Princeton University, where much of the work on the PRINCIPIA was done. In addition, ETBA provides extraordinary applications to the Mideast, explicitly dealing with the heretofore ignored central issue. The total context within which ETBA and the PRINCIPIA are embedded plus further descriptions can be found on the author's website: terror1.com. ETBA provides an additional focus -- a focus on the most urgent priority of the contemporary era: ending the bronze age.

ETBA, as well as the PRINCIPIA, has been acquired by Libraries of Columbia, Harvard, National Defense, Oxford, and Princeton Universities, the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs of Princeton University, and the United Nations, among others. It is to become a primary instrument of projected long-term operations concerning War/Peace, Defense, Arms Control, and Catastrophic Terrorism, and, clearly, should be included in social science courses, especially political science. In order to underline the urgency of this work, the back cover of ETBA comprises a composite photograph of the fireball of MIKE, an early thermonuclear weapons test, set over the skyline of New York City.

Inasmuch as ETBA is primarily a digest of the PRINCIPIA, we advise the reader of this Description to also read the presentation of PRINCIPIA IDEOLOGICA on Amazon.com, and thereby gain a much better picture of the nature, substance, range and power of this work, while obviating the need for considerable unnecessary repetition here.
