Audit of the Universe: Planet Earth, I take you for Better or Worse

by Sam Kneller, Virtual Voice (Narrator)

Earth is teeming with animal and vegetal biodiversity. The planet's capacity to healthily feed its inhabitants is bar none. Our nest-egg's resources are incomparable. But, have we sabotaged our environment beyond the point of no return? Earth supplies us with every breath of air, freely. Water to quench our thirst. The sun for warmth. Seasons for plenteous harvests. Its landscapes for living and leisure. Its beauty for our serenity. Then, along comes humankind, greedy, leeching, pillaging, unscrupulous, slowly asphyxiating our very life-giver. We're draining it like a blood-sucking vampire taking the life out of its victim. Humanity sets up organizations, treaties, alliances, conferences for leaders and scientists. We aspire to peace and prosperity, playing the fiddle while Rome burns. We apply band-aids to what needs open-heart surgery. The survival of our planet and, consequently, our way of life is at stake. The doomsday clock is at 100 seconds to midnight. Will we pull off the rescue, and save our planet in one minute and forty seconds? Kristin, referring to The Explanation series, said, "one of a series of books that sets the stage for the secret to life." Be the eye-witness to the disturbing, destructive tendency of human nature and its counterpart, the uplifting, innovative solutions. Decide for yourself. Is the glass of peace and prosperity getting fuller or emptier? Buy Audit of the Universe, embark on the tour that leads to the secret of life.

About the author

Sam Kneller was born in London and has lived around the world in the United Kingdom, South Africa, Spain, Canada, Israel and Belgium with the last 35 years in France. I spent 25 years in the Christian Ministry in Canada and France. In the late 90’s, I taught webmastering and carried out technical writing.

In 1998 I started BonjourLaFrance.com, a successful site for travel and tourism in France, and am now occupied with webmastering, studying, teaching, speaking and writing.

From my sheltered life at the age of 17 Sam Kneller went to the Middle East to continue my schooling and was immersed in a ‘world and mind opening experience’, living in Israel, learning Hebrew and reading Time magazine cover to cover.

At 19 Sam Kneller moved to Belgium to be plunged into Europe, French and the diamond industry. 1968 was another year of big change, in a quest for understanding, I gave up a life of affluence and moved to the UK to resume my college education.

I’ve always had an interest in how things, anything and everything, work. I remember standing for hours watching construction sites, fascinated by the equipment and the building process. This lead me to the fields of mathematics and physics and later my inquisitive mind ended up posing questions about life itself.

My personal life voyage has taken me places I never dreamed of and my writing journey will take you on an investigative adventure into unchartered territory beckoning to be discovered.
