Dennis McCarty's Reflections: On Time, Culture, and Spirits in America weaves American history, culture, and science into a tour de force of what might be called, "atheist spirituality." He ponders rain, wind, continental drift, nuclear power, Manifest Destiny, and the Native American genocide, to ask a crucial question for our time: How will we respond when the Native American past becomes the Euro-American future? McCarty's writing is rapturously poetic in some places, discomfortingly frank in others. His conclusions may challenge some readers. But few will be able to forget this extraordinary book.
