That is probably exactly how they need to be in the situation. But of course it has consequences. First off, it implies a decided lack of empathy toward fellow beings. Unlike some reviewers, I'm not particularly disturbed at their willingness to hang Charlie, and to at least consider "mercy killing" of the retarded Evie. Given such personalities, this is exactly how they would be. Indeed, it says much for their basic decency that they agonise as much as they do over the first decision, and never take the second one at all.

Stewart has made his characters act "in character", as an author should. Secondly, however helpful this attitude was in seeing them through the immediate aftermath, it is far less so when it's time to think of rebuilding.

Having taken the Disaster itself almost in their stride, they are likewise accepting of its aftermath, and generally take only such action as is forced on them by circumstances. The "Lewis and Clark" expedition in Year 22 is distinctly exceptional. And Ish's basically solitary disposition stultifies his attempt to educate the children. The only one he can "reach" is an academic loner exactly like himself, after whose death he essentially gives up.

Stewart has wonderfully portrayed how the virtues which were such a help at the start of the book have now turned into vices. Looking back on it I first read the book at age ten I have some minor gripes.

In practical and personal terms, he discusses how we can all become active agents of a transformation of human civilization and why that is necessary to our continued survival. Patten's narrative focuses on two aspects of existence--our dynamic but fractured and threatened world, and our underlying wholeness and unity.

Only by honoring both of these realities simultaneously can we make sustainable changes in ourselves, our communities, our body politic, and our planetary life-support system. A New Republic of the Heart provides a comprehensive understanding and inspiring vision for "being the change" in a way that can address the most intractable problems of our time. Patten shows how we can come together in our communities for conversations that matter and describes new communities, enterprises, and forms of dialogue that integrate both inner personal growth work with outer awareness, activism, and service.
