• OOPS!
  Daniel is taking a break–literally and figuratively. He’s been on a kind of in-home extended sabbatical for awhile now for some much needed R&R from the computer, emails, questions like “What’s the next book?” and so on. Unfortunately, he’s had some falls recently, and one of them caused a couple of fractured ribs. He has to continue taking it easy until they heal, which means that he’s not going to be answering mail or reading other things that might be sent to him for comment or advice. If you need to get in touch, please email me (RMQ@ishmael.org).
  Thanks.
  Rennie

• Pan Earth: a site dedicated to a scientific, holistic approach to world problems (and population in particular).

• Read Ishmael: a site created by Quinn readers to reach out to other prospective readers.

• Friends of Ishmael Society: find local groups (and more).

• IshCon: another reader-created site. It's not active now, but conversations, plus information and photos about the conferences they organized, are archived and available for viewing.

• IshThink: an active reader-created discussion site. It's main purpose--to give people a forum to explore feelings and thoughts engendered by reading Quinn books.

  When Europeans "discovered" the New World, they considered it a sacred duty to take it over. The people who were already living there were just in the way, like trees or rocks or wild animals. They had no real business being there, as we did. For us to take over this hemisphere was just part of the larger plan (presumably God's plan) for us to take over the entire world.
