A psychiatrist presents a compelling argument for how human purpose and caring emerged in a spontaneous and unguided universe. Can there be purpose without God? This book is about how human purpose and caring, like consciousness and absolutely everything else in existence, could plausibly have emerged and evolved unguided, bottom-up, in a spontaneous universe. A random world--which according to all the scientific evidence and despite our intuitions is the actual world we live in--is too often misconstrued as nihilistic, demotivating, or devoid of morality and meaning.

Ralph Lewis has produced a fascinating account of the experiences of a radio operator/navigator during what may be described as the formative years of those professions. The accounts of his wartime years with United Air Lines & of the many strange episodes with the legendary Transocean Air Lines after the war could be, without exaggeration, described as adventurous. In addition to the sharply-written text, the book is illustrated exclusively with more than a hundred of Ralph's superb photographs that include rare shots of the Pacific islands & atolls, the famous Transocean gold bullion airlift, the monkey flights, the royal chairlift in Saudi Arabia & many others.
In a work written with profound insight and admiration, Lewis celebrates the wives, mothers, sisters and daughters who bravely stepped into the breach created by World War II and explores how their experiences changed lives ever after for both sexes. With heartfelt personal stories and 200 evocative period photos.
