From Concept to Chaos: Our Contemporary Culture is Being Sadly Neglected

Sheldon Miller’s From Concept to Chaos: Our Contemporary Culture is Being Sadly Neglected presents a frank and unflinching series of essays on thirty-six serious topics of interest to anyone who lives in our fast-paced global village. Social trends move quickly, and in the age of globalization they also move geographically. Many of these trends are having such a negative impact on culture and society, that to describe them as “terminal” is not hyperbole. Everything from business ethics to pollution to crime to chaotic religious influences are being affected by these trends. This book will give you a broad appreciation for the challenges facing our collective futures, more so than any other source concerning these matters, due to this work’s deep exploration of the topics presented and its considerable documentation. Written in plain English, author Sheldon Miller shares his keen insight in a way that will speak to anyone with a concern for our world’s future.

4Passing Down Wisdom in Plain Terms  Aug 28, 2009
By Mark Franklin
Oklahomans have a long tradition of admiring common sense and honest dialog. Following in the tradition of fellow Oklahoman Will Rodgers, Sheldon Miller eschews politically correct double-speak in his book From Concept to Chaos. His 36-essays are guaranteed to infuriate those on the far left and the far right, which is powerful proof that he is saying something meaningful and important to the rest of us. Miller's book is not an academic treatise on the major social and economic issues facing America. It is a thoughtful and thought provoking review of seminal issues ranging from immigration to global warming seen from the perspective of a highly intelligent and wise elder who has no interest in political office, financial gain or being granted tenure. Miller provides few answers but rather a refreshingly honest and effective manner of framing the issues. Miller dissects the issues in much the same way that Pulitzer Prize winning author Jared Diamond did in his brilliant Collapse: How Societies Choose to Fail or Succeed. Indeed, I found From Concept to Chaos a natural transition from Collapse that helped me frame historical problems in today's terms.

4A Chaotic World Revealed  Jan 19, 2010
By Joseph Cristiano
From Concept to Chaos opens a world of hotly debated issues to digestible and pragmatic dissection. The author's approach addresses the social, political and economic issues we like to think don't affect us directly, showing us consequent implications most of us have never imagined, or just prefer not to. In my opinion, whether you agree with Mr. Miller is not material to the objective of this fine work. That this distillery of readers' personal opinion may both spike and broaden the debates satisfies the author's primary objective.

4Commentary  Dec 03, 2009
By Anonymous Interested Reader
Many years from now, when historians study the records of this civilization, its culture and issues, "From Concept to Chaos" will be a classic text and resource, and its author deemed prophetic. It is unfortunate that the current wide political divide precludes some of the sensible suggested solutions from adoption.
