For the first time Zecharia Sitchin author of the bestselling The Earth Chronicle series reveals the functional research & adventurous expeditions that resulted in the concrete evidence for his conclusion that ancient myths were recollections of factual events that the gods of ancient peoples were visitors to Earth from another planet & that we are not alone in our own solar system. In the course of this investigation Sitchin also became convinced of the veracity of the Bible. Sitchins expeditions take readers from the Yucatan peninsula to the Isle of Crete to ancient Egypt & the lands of the Bible as he explores the links between the Old World & the New World. His adventurous exploits reveal archaeological cover-ups concerning Olmec origins in Mexico & ancient UFO artefacts in Turkey. Other quests send him through the holy sites of Jerusalem Jordan Syria & Lebanon in search of extraterrestrial gods in the artefacts & murals of these ancient civilisations.

Earth is our Business takes forward the argument of Polly Higgins first book Eradicating Ecocide. This book proposes new Earth law but it is also about something more than law: it advocates a new form of leadership which places the health & well-being of people & planet first. Polly Higgins shows how law can provide the tools & be a bridge to a new way of doing business. She argues in fact that Earth is the business of us all not the exclusive preserve of the executives of the worlds top corporations. Expanding on the proposal in her first book to make Ecocide an international crime this book sets out the institutional framework for sustainable development & international environmental governance. It proposes new rules of the game to transform our economies energy supplies & political landscape in a radical but practical way. The implications of Polly Higgins proposal are far-reaching & profound. Like her award-winning first book Earth is our Business is written for anyone who is engaging in the new & emerging discourse about the future of our planet. Instead of merely examining the problem Earth is our Business sets out a solution: new rules of the game. They are says Polly Higgins a new set of laws based on the sacredness of all life.
