	Ishmael (novel) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Daniel Quinn dubs this harmful form of agriculture, which is unique to the Takers, "Totalitarian Agriculture".
		Quinn's assertion that human population expands in proportion to food supply regardless of cultural or technological checks is common to some environmental claims, but it remains contentious.
		Quinn asserts that overall population continues to rise in proportion to the food supply even if fertility rates fall locally, but he does not suggest a mechanism that would override those local trends.

	Book Review: After Dachau by Daniel Quinn (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Daniel Quinn's latest cautionary tale of the perils of how we view history, After Dachau, falls flat on its face as both suspense story and revisionist philosophy.
		Quinn introduces one of his dullest protagonists ever, laconic heir Jason Tull Jr., but we forgive him this because one does not read books such as Ishmael and The Story of B for character development.
		It is this heavy-handedness that fells Quinn as a spinner of yarns.

	Amazon.com: Books: Beyond Civilization : Humanity's Next Great Adventure (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Quinn shows us that many cultures tried this experiment at one point in their history, but that they all gave it up because they quickly realized that (1) this lifestyle pushed them to work more than ever before, and (2) it favored an uncontrollable growth that put in danger their ecosystem.
		Quinn's message is that it is time for us to do the same thing: it is now obvious that our civilization does not work well at all, and it is on the verge of being eliminated by natural selection (putting our ecosystem in danger puts us in danger!).
		Daniel Quinn tended to be very random and off the wall with his thoughts making it very hard to comprehend what he was really talking about.

	Review of Ishmael, by Daniel Quinn (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Quinn wrote that at this point he still had a great deal of doubt about what Ishmael had to say.
		Quinn avoids this and Ishmael is the stronger for it.
		By maintaining doubt in the reader's mind, Quinn ensures that if an idea is to be accepted it must pass through rigorous examination on the part of both the characters in the novel and the reader.

	Ishmael, by Daniel Quinn: Below is a synopsis of the book and t
		Below is part of an interview with Daniel Quinn and a synopsis of his book Ishmael and the ideas contained in it.
		Despite some gross oversimplifications, Quinn's ideas are fairly convincing; it's hard not to agree that unrestrained population growth and an obsession with conquest and control of the environment are among the key issues of our times.
		Quinn also traces these problems back to the agricultural revolution and offers a provocative rereading of the biblical stories of Genesis.

		Quinn shares that outlook, and through his use of parables and other literary teaching devices, draws out his message from within his audience.
		Quinn's style also varies, in that here he presents his message for the most part in the form of speeches, without as much concern for what the reader understands.
		Quinn's most recent novel is My Ishmael, in which Quinn again uses the relationship between the gorilla Ishmael and a student to illustrate his points.

	Daniel Quinn message/review of The Holy - Culture Change
		The story in Daniel Quinn’s new book, The Holy, concerns two main themes that hit me over the head: (1) independent living, i.e., being yourself and following your best potential destiny, and (2) modern humans in the consumer culture are unaware of the power of nature and of the universe.
		This being the case, and given the power of dreaming, Daniel Quinn is thus allowed much maneuvering room to weave a riveting tale that takes the reader into uncharted territory.
		Daniel Quinn helped inspire Culture Change, and specifically Jan Lundberg's recent e-column Health Care Tribe which features Howard (named after the protagonist of The Holy).

	BOOK REVIEW. Daniel Quinn, Ishmael (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		For Austin writer Daniel Quinn, Ishmael is the work a lifetime, almost literally.
		Again, a rather simplistic view of these tribes and their histories, but the main problem I have with this portion of the book is the lack of specific ways in which these indigenous beliefs can be adapted and used to create a sustainable society here and now.
		To his credit, Quinn has stated that Ishmael is intended as a starting point for the discussion of these issues, not the plan for a new society.

	Daniel Quinn: After Dachau (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Daniel Quinn sets his new novel, After Dachau, in what appears to be the near future.
		Quinn takes this scenario to an extreme in his world which looks so much like ours until he explains a few major differences.
		Quinn has produced a novel which is much more open to intellectual reflection than it is to enjoyment of characters or plot.

	A Labor of Love - Multitalented Artist Pens Provocative Collection of Poetry
		Quinn combines wordplay and spatial arrangement to create a startling array of poetry that pleases the mind and the eye.
		Quinn writes, "Some of the poems are meant to be seen on the page as artworks in themselves; others are meant to be read."
		Quinn, an accomplished producer and director of theater performances, received a bachelor’s degree in literature and fine arts from the Ramapo College of New Jersey and a master’s degree in theater and performing arts from the American University in Washington, D.C. Among his numerous achievements, he founded "ArtsPRunlimited," an up-and-coming arts festival in New York.

	Alibris: Daniel Quinn
		Quinn propounds a simple anthropology, which, building on the premises of his earlier books, ISHMAEL and MY ISHMAEL, transcends the failings of civilization through the tribal society.
		It was received by Daniel Quinn in a dream -- from the hands of a recently deceased acquaintance.
		In a society where times moved backward--people are removed from graves and wake up in hospitals where their lives begin--one man is growing younger much more slowly than everyone he knows, all of whom are engaged in a search for their mothers, whom they must find before the "end" of their lives.

	Amazon.com: Books: Ishmael: An Adventure of the Mind and Spirit (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Quinn (Dreamer) won the Turner Tomorrow Award's half-million-dollar first prize for this fascinating and odd book--not a novel by any conventional definition--which was written 13 years ago but could not find a publisher.
		This is the reasoning behind Quinn's choice of a gorilla named Ishmael as the main character of this novel, who conducts a series of dialogues analyzing the whole of civilization itself.
		Instead of muttering about monumental building and written language, Quinn treats civilization in a method that is becoming increasingly popular: as the result of a critical mass of humanity that makes possible rapid advances in knowledge and science.

	Ishmael by Daniel Quinn (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		I have gone on from this first novel through his next two novels, and other writings, and now consider myself to be a pupil of Daniel Quinn, and to see him as an important mentor.
		I think that Quinn has some important things to say to us, about our own "old" culture past, and about the deep origins and premises of the "new" Western culture against which we have clashed these last two hundred years, and against which we continue to clash.
		Amazingly it was a work of non-fiction until Quinn decided to enter it for the Turner prize, so it only became a novel in its final version.

	Ghost Signs - Beyond Civilization : Humanity's Next Great Adventure by Daniel Quinn (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Comment: In Daniel Quinn's, Beyond Civilization, the main idea is that which is stated in the title.
		Quinn believes that civilization will lead to the destruction of mankind and that we should try to regress to an earlier time in human culture to prevent our planet from obliteration.
		I am one of those stupid Americans who believe that "oh this will never happen anyway." I think Daniel Quinn presents a few decent ideas but the fact of the matter is that these ideas will probably always remain to be just that; ideas.

	New Tribal Ventures, Inc. -- Who We Are
		These were part of a cache of work hidden away in the attic of her house and forgotten for years as she neglected her own art in favor of raising a family and helping further the career of her husband, also an artist.
		The four photos behind Daniel at his desk are a few of the originals created by Greg Boyd to illustrate A Newcomer's Guide to the Afterlife, which Daniel wrote (along with Tom Whalen) as a "vacation" from more serious work.
		Daniel gave up painting when he began to work seriously at writing, feeling that each art form is too demanding for simultaneous existence and realizing that he was a better writer than painter.

	The Cult - Daniel Quinn
		Throughout the whole book I was having Quinn flashbacks...especially with regards to Big Brother's Song and Dance...the plague you can catch through your ears...or what Quinn referred to as Mother Culture.
		Quinn's another minor genius; his work is none too original (Ishmael is really basically another "buddy book," only one of the buddies is a two-ton silverback gorilla), but the way he expressed his views (and what those views are) really opened my eyes to a lot of new ideas.
		There's an essay culled from a lecture Quinn gave, about the Next American Renaissance (or something clsoe to that), which is sixteen pages that will pry your eyes open and give you total hope that we haven't fucked this planet up completely...
