Destiny and Civilization: The Evolutionary Explanation of Religion and History

There is nothing like this in print anywhere! So, you know history . . . well, Brough explains it. He applies evolutionary natural selection to the whole of human history and prehistory, showing how social evolution works. He fully explains what makes civilizations rise and fall-our own, for example. No wonder all this was never known before: religion-influenced academic thinking stood in the way! If anything is capable of bringing Free Thinkers "out of the closet" so they can come together and organize, this is it. This extensive research effectively explains what the Religious-Right does to a society because the research is objective, impartial. Every Free Thinker who reads it will find out why Religious Reaction is growing, what it did in previous societies (yes, in every civilization, even in prehistory) and what is happening this time.

CHARLESBROUGH passed the entrance exam to Stanford University, but insteadof attending, he spent six years in colleges studying biological,medical, and natural sciences. He decided that the reason socialtheorists were unable to explain how social evolution works---hisspecific interest---had to be because of university systemsubjectivity due to the nature of the subject. So, he spent the nextfifty-three years doing independentresearch in more than twelve social sciences and related fields. Butit was not all academic; he traveled to thirty-five nations, lived insix, had marriages, two daughters, and a divorce. His first book,"The Cycle of Civilization," was edited by Dr. Linus Pauling. Brough'swriting has appeared in Skeptic Magazine, the Chronicle of HigherEducation, and numerous newspapers. He has given speeches at thePlato Society of UCLA, Missouri Southern State University, and theInstitute of Social Realism in Los Angeles.
