John Somer's New Book 'America's Instability: A Look at the Present, the Past and a Precarious Future' Unfolds America's State and Its Impact Throughout History

Recent release "America's Instability: A Look at the Present, the Past and a Precarious Future" from Covenant Books author John Somer is a potent account that delves into the conflicts that shaped the course of America's society.

​John Somer, a professor emeritus of Emporia State University in Kansas, as well as a farmer, a railroader, a realtor, a janitor, an electrician, a plumber and a laborer, has completed his new book, “America’s Instability: A Look at the Present, the Past and a Precarious Future,” a profound narrative that discusses the diverging value structures prevalent in the Western culture. 

John writes, “America’s Instability: the Present, the Past, and a Challenging Future is a description of the various wars between conflicting value systems throughout Western civilization. America’s national election of 2016 is a graphic example of the cultural arguments embedded in our social history.

This study does not attempt to solve these complex problems but to clarify their impact on our lives. The opening chapters describe the current systems for evaluating social clashes. The next seven chapters discuss the series of clashes in Western civilization from the Epic of Gilgamesh, the first preserved book, to the cosmic shock of the 20th century.

The next section discusses the two philosophical systems associated with our national crisis. Chapters 12 and 13 discuss America’s unique problems. The following five chapters focus on the violence in Syria as it is aided by Russia. This small nation might be the crisis point of America’s place in history.

The final chapter offers an image to remind Americans that the United States is more than a geographical entity. We citizens are the United States, and therefore, we have a responsibility to address, disinterestedly, our current problems that rise from a global unrest.”

John is an ordinary person whose vision of the nation’s problems differs, in a unique way, from established writers. Here is the voice of one American.

Published by Covenant Books of Murrells Inlet, South Carolina, John Somer’s new book provides an in-depth analysis of the systems of America and how this defines the citizens and the way a country progresses toward understanding.

Readers can purchase “America’s Instability” at bookstores everywhere or online at the Apple iTunes Store, Amazon or Barnes & Noble.
