A bold argument that education, not politics, must cement civilization and guide mankind toward a sustainable future.
This edition rethinks the Bible as a practical, modern foundation for a shared civic life.
The author contends that modern communities lack a unifying cement and that education should be the central force shaping the world we share. He proposes a revised, enlarged “Bible of Civilization” adapted to today’s science and knowledge, to restore a common ground of ideas and duties for all citizens.
By foregrounding the New Story of Genesis—explaining the universe, life, and humanity in accessible terms—the book links personal happiness to a stronger community and a clear sense of place in the world. It argues that education should aim to form citizens and a race, not merely to prepare individuals for employment, and it outlines concrete ways to revitalize schooling, language learning, and history instruction for a cohesive future.
- A plan to rewrite and adapt foundational stories to fit modern knowledge and needs.
- A clear call to place education at the center of national and global reform.
- Strategies for teaching that build cohesion, discipline, and cooperative habits.
- A vision of a world where a strengthened educational framework supports political and social progress.
Ideal for readers interested in education reform, civilization, and the big questions about our shared future.
Often called the father of science fiction, British author Herbert George (H. G.) Wells literary works are notable for being some of the first titles of the science fiction genre, and include such famed titles as The Time Machine, The War of the Worlds, The Island of Doctor Moreau, and The Invisible Man. Despite being fixedly associated with science fiction, Wells wrote extensively in other genres and on many subjects, including history, society and politics, and was heavily influenced by Darwinism. His first book, Anticipations of the Reaction of Mechanical and Scientific Progress Upon Human Life and Thought, offered predictions about what technology and society would look like in the year 2000, many of which have proven accurate. Wells went on to pen over fifty novels, numerous non-fiction books, and dozens of short stories. His legacy has had an overwhelming influence on science fiction, popular culture, and even on technological and scientific innovation. Wells died in 1946 at the age of 79.
