Time Being

"The relentless and prolonged assault by politicians and the public on the competence and motives of their government bureaucracies is slowly but surely undermining democracy in the Americas and Europe. . . . The book arrives during a moment of particularly nasty relations between major parts of Washington's bureaucracy and a conservative Republican president who bemoans having to live and work here. This is a happy accident of timing. The book has no partisan ax to grind, and its insights could be useful to the Bush administration--both at home and in its unexpected bonanza of nation-building projects abroad."---Jim Hoagland, The Washington Post

Dismantling Democratic States

&ldquo;Spectacular . . . What is astonishing is how . . . entertaining as well as informative   this book&mdash;an episodic novel with evolution as its protagonist&mdash;manages to be.&rdquo;&mdash;The   New York Times Book Review &ldquo;Magisterial and uplifting . . . A brilliant, grand-scale   sampling of sixty-five million years of human evolution . . . It shows the sweep   and grandeur of life in its unrelenting course.&rdquo;&mdash;The Denver Post &ldquo;Strong imagination,   a capacity for awe, and the ability to think rigorously about vast and final things   abound in the work of Stephen Baxter. . . . [Evolution] leaves the reader with a   haunting portrayal of the distant future.&rdquo;&mdash;Times Literary Supplement &ldquo;A breath of fresh air . . . The miracle of Evolution is that it makes the triumph of life,   which is its story, sound like the real story.&rdquo;&mdash;The Washington Post Book World &ldquo;A work of outrageous ambition. Baxter&rsquo;s goal is nothing less than to dramatize the   grand sweep of primate development. . . . Evolution is a cautionary tale, warning   of the dire consequences to contemporary humans if we persist in behavior that threatens   the survival of our ecosystem.&rdquo;&mdash;The New York Times Book Review &ldquo;Baxter&rsquo;s depictions   are brilliant, with some inspired conjectures to spice up events. . . . I highly   recommend Evolution. . . . [It] provide[s] food for thought, confronts our notions   of what it means to be human, and gives warning that nothing can be taken for granted   in the ongoing struggle for survival.&rdquo;&mdash;scifi dimensions  &ldquo;Baxter chronicles the   epic survival of the mammalian family that ultimately ended up with us. . . . The   sheer timescale makes a great story that is panoramic in extent. I felt I was watching   Walking with Beasts rolled into The Human Journey. Baxter&rsquo;s ability to turn science   into exciting and readable fiction makes him one of the most accessible SF writers   around.&rdquo;&mdash;The Times (London) &ldquo;The overall narrative [is] a big, thick, geophysical   stick upside the head to remind us all that things can change, at any moment, for   any reason.&rdquo;&mdash;The San Diego Union-Tribune  &ldquo;I recommend this novel to anyone who   appreciates novels that take chances. . . . Baxter is not shy about painting big   pictures about big ideas. . . . [He] painstakingly moves us from the shrewlike creatures   that coexisted with the dinosaurs through the walking, tool-using hominids of Africa,   through Neanderthals, through humans, to an entirely speculative future that is beyond   brief description.&rdquo;&mdash;sfrevu online  &ldquo;A powerful fusion of science and imagination .   . . Baxter makes an impressive job of putting flesh on to the bones of the scientific   theory and in its imaginative vision Evolution deserves comparison with SF epics   such as Olaf Stapledon&rsquo;s Last and First Men or Alfred Doblin&rsquo;s Mountains, Seas, and   Giants. Baxter leaves you with a memorable yet unsettling sense of our insignificance   in the scheme of things. In the story of evolution, as in all good thrillers, an   extinction event is always lurking just around the corner.&rdquo;&mdash;The Guardian (London)  &ldquo;A tour-de-force . . . A sprawling, ambitious chronicle spanning millennia . . .   The account of the Cretaceous-Tertiary extinction and the rise of mammals as the   dominant life-form is particularly fascinating. . . . Similarly well crafted is Baxter&rsquo;s   projection of a posthuman future.&rdquo;&mdash;Booklist  &ldquo;Taking a page from SF saga writers   like Kim Stanley Robinson and Brian Stableford, British author Baxter portrays humanity&rsquo;s   origins, growth, and ultimate disappearance in a loose-knit series of brutal vignettes   spanning millions of years of evolution. . . . The book rises above its fragmented   narrative . . . to reach a grim and stoic grandeur, which clearly has humanity&rsquo;s   best interests at heart. Here is a rigorously constructed hard SF novel where the   question is not whether humanity will reach the stars but how it will survive its   own worst tendencies.&rdquo;&mdash;Publishers Weekly &ldquo;Highly recommended . . . Spanning more   than sixty-five million years and encompassing the entire planet, Baxter&rsquo;s ambitious   saga provides both an exercise in painless paleontology and superb storytelling.&rdquo;&mdash;Library Journal
