From the PublisherIn Man's Greatest Fear - The Final Phase of Human Evolution, Dr. Marshall explains: why man is drawn to war, why he seems obsessed with the destruction of the environment, why God is portrayed as a man, why woman outlives man an average of 7.5 years, why 106 males are born for every 100 females, why great leaders like Pope John Paul I, Dr. Martin Luther King, and John F. Kennedy are frequently assassinated, and why, under male leadership, the human race is careening toward its own extinction.

For anyone worried about the future of humankind, "Man's Greatest Fear - The Final Phase of Human Evolution" identifies man's self-destructive behaviors and outlines a strategy to avoid the extinction of human life on earth.From the AuthorFrom 1969 to 1973, I had the privilege of serving my country in the USAF, working as a physical therapy technician and later as a psychologist. Everyday I would try to help brave, patriotic men returning from the war in Vietnam, recover from their wounds. They were all physically and emotionally scarred from the war. Of the hundreds of soldiers I met in those four years, I can only recall a few that I didn't like and none that I didn't respect. They were all different in terms of their backgrounds and beliefs and yet they were all the same in their devotion to their country and their courage to go to war for their country. Their suffering started me questioning, why does man, being the intelligent, sociable, brave, frequently friendly creature that he is, continually slaughter one another in war? After I left the USAF and began work as a hospital psychologist, the patients I saw made me question, "Why does man beat, rape and dominate women? The answers to those questions form the nucleus for my book, "Man's Greatest Fear - The Final Phase of Human Evolution." We, as intelligent beings, must confront and resolve our problems or else we will be destroyed by them.About the AuthorTim Marshall earned his BA degree in physical education from Sacramento State University in 1969.

He hates capitalists, religion, Israel, the military, industry, the United States, oil companies, and bankers. He loves abortion, Bill Clinton, Hillary, environmentalists, Freud, Jimmy Carter, Palestinians, and anyone who hates people in the previous group. This book is nothing more than a smokescreen which uses the pretext of championing the peaceful, life-giving nature of woman, to praise leftist policies and blame the right and Republicans for everything that is wrong in our world. It is really ironic in a book that claims to have so much regard for the God-like ability of women to create life within their bodies and grow and give birth to that life and then nurture it after birth, that the author then goes on to exalt the billion-dollar abortion industry which makes money by preying on frightened, pregnant women, leading them into invasive medical procedures and persuading them that there is no moral problem with allowing a doctor to destroy the lives they are carrying by tearing the babies apart limb by limb or using violent chemicals to destroy these infants. Apparently he sees no relation between this and other violent acts which destroy life like war and environmental destruction. This authors idea of a great man, our best president he offers us Bill Clinton the rock star of the Democrat Party, a man who publicly humiliated his good wife and took a misguided near-adolescent, snuck her into the Oval Office and had her, pardon my bluntness, suck him from under a desk while he wheeled and dealed with world leaders. Bill Clinton is a very, very rich man. How does the author think he amassed all that wealth by aiding the poor or by knowing how to align himself with rich and powerful business enterprises? This author is trying to snow women by stroking their egos. He is the classic deceitful womanizer, the Rodolphe Boulanger in Madame Bovary, a man who seduces dozens of women by knowing what they want to hear. Ha, no wonder he loves Bill Clinton! He tries to tell women that they are superior to men, not part of a natural balance of soft/hard, passive/aggressive, emotional/rational which nature or God created to sustain life, but a force superior to man who has only been brutalized by man since the beginning of time. That the efforts of man have given the world shelter, food, protection, the humanities, the sciences, modern advancements that make life easy for all of us like computers and clothes washers none of this counts. In this authors mind all of that is just a compensation for uterus envy. Since this author makes much of the story of Eve and the Devil, lets bring him into that tale. Is this author whispering in the womans ear the lie that she is not only equal to man, which is true, but that she is more than that that she is God and thereby that man should worship her and not God. But what was the original sin really, because it wasnt sex. No, the original sin was wanting to be God, to be as powerful as God, to replace God. By whispering to the woman, Tim Marshall is placing himself in the role of the serpent.6 of 7 people found the following review helpful. My wife made me read this book.By Allan AndersonThis book upset my wife and so she made me read it. Being a man, at first I thought it was a joke; women taking control of the world. However, after watching the news about the war in Iraq yesterday, I stopped laughing and started thinking. I served in the Vietnam War were 57,000 Americans were murdered - my two uncles fought in WWII and my father's cousin was killed in WWI. The author is right about war - men have killed each other for thousands of years. It's also true that men are destroying the environment; the author's examples can't be denied. The quotes from famous men from many ages and cultures were interesting. The connection of male domination of women with man-made religion and over-population is plausible. Over-all, the book's theory is thought-provoking and depressing. I now see why this book upset my wife; it makes you aware of the ugly side of man which is why I'm sorry I read it.4 of 6 people found the following review helpful. A Very Timely and Thought-Provoking BookBy Josephine MurphyI found this to be an excellent and very thought-provoking book. Dr. Marshall presents a theory that is both timely and relevant given the state of affairs we are currently faced with in the world. He supports his ideas with a wealth of detailed information, and the reader is left with the impression that he has spent a very long time gathering all of these facts and presenting them in such a cohesive and unified manner. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who cares about what is happening in the world, from those concerned with the environment to those worried about social/political issues on local, national and international levels. This book gives the reader much to think about and, equally important, gives one concrete and achievable action steps that can be accomplished on an individual level to affect positive change in the world.
