A Farm Boy Sees the World
This story about a farm boy who for the first time is really exposed to the world as he had never envisioned it to be, but grew up fascinated by the variety and unique types of people whom he has encountered over the course of his lifetime. Obviously, a great deal has been left out or omitted: some intentionally, and some inadvertently. The aging mind begins to remember people, places and events which have had a lasting impact as the years have gone by. Ive no doubt left out some very salient points which others may remember, but I have forgotten. I also, however, have remembered events people and places which some persons may have preferred to forget. Hence, as time goes by those whose lives have had the greatest impact upon my own life may already be among those who have gone on while the rest of us await our own end one of these years.

The book attempts to address those types of concerns and issues which have proved so challenging to persons who have begun to form their own opinions about topics which all persons confront over the course of their lifetimes.

The German Greens

The critical essays by German social scientists and activists also provide a detailed picture of the dyn...
