The Post-Pandemic World
The Covid-19 pandemic is a repeating biophysical shock yet one for which our current socio-economic structure was not prepared. Climate change, scarcity, depletion of natural resources, and the inevitable transition to renewable energy are one time events. Taken together, they present an existential threat to human society.

The Twentieth Century was by far the most murderous period in human history. Some hundred million people perished during wars, hunger and revolutions. Erik Meyer experienced half of the century of death and destruction. Born in 1940, at the outset of WWII in Hamburg, Germany, the awful war years are just a distant memory.

In 1896, Andrew McNally dreamed of Country Gentleman Estates in LaMirada, California. His dream did not come to pass as he planned, but in theearly 1950s the area developed and young families moved here from all overand found it really was a dream place to live and raise a family.In 2003 when Tony and a group of equally dedicated people started the LaMirada Blog, it soon became obvious that there were many others out therewilling to share their varied stories. When these three got together, Tony, Glenand Raymond, they realized these fantastic memories needed to be put downin print for posterity, not out there getting lost in cyberspace.Thus, Reflections from McNally's Mirror was born and you are holdingthose personal stories in your hands.
A Second Life
In the Beginning: Recollections of Software Pioneers records the stories of computing's past, enabling today's professionals to improve on the realities of yesterday.

These stories help capture the true evolution. The book illustrates human experiences and industry turning points through personal recollections by the pioneers ... people like Barry Boehm, Peter Denning, Watts Humphrey, Frank Land, and a dozen others.
