In this title Thomas Troward presents a simple theory of evolution and deriving highly optimistic conclusions for the prospective future development of us human beings. The book's message is highly relevant as a counter to the dire apocalyptic prognostications which are currently rife in certain quarters and which, if uncontested, can only depress the human spirit and hinder human progress to ever-higher degrees of enlightenment.
