AT a time when the world realized that it is not immortal, a new book from Warrington’s Mark Olly, has brought an entirely new view of what it means to be human.
Crystal Skulls & Human Heads also speculates on what the planet really is, how something as simple as a few grains of sand revolutionized civilization, how extinction is simply a part of nature and how the whole of life we so comfortably fit into may not be quite what it seems.
Nature, science, and technology combine to show the past, present and future like never before, a life-and-death passage through realms largely unknown to us, but not to those ancient giants of intelligence who came before us.
Mark, author, TV presenter, archaeologist, historian, etc, seamlessly combines the disciplines of archaeology, geology, science, and human studies, to push the boundaries of human existence wider in both directions and increase our appreciation of just exactly what the human race could potentially be capable of achieving.
Far from being an end in itself, the book takes the reader on a magical mystery tour like no other, enlivens the mind, reaches some startling conclusions, and may just change the way we see our future.
The former Appleton Hall Grammar School pupil has published a number of books, including “Celtic Warrington and Other Mysteries”, “Revealing the Green Man,” and “The Life and Times of the Real Robyn Hoode.”
His new book from Flying Disk Press is available from Amazon and all good book shops from March 1.
