Tuesdays with Morrie – A wonderful and touching account of a supportive relationship between two men of very different ages and backgrounds.
The Greatest Generation – An account of the amazing contributions made by the (mostly) men who returned from WWII and worked very hard to make the U.S. a strong and highly respected country. Yes, we know that there was a segment of our population that, mostly because of racial issues, did not completely share in our “middle class” affluence. But overall I consider the post war period, in which I had the opportunity to live and work, a golden age for the U.S.
The Perfect Storm – A very well written and exciting account of the ocean disaster that befell a vessel due to the convergence of several weather patterns. The term, “Perfect Storm”, has become a descriptor of some very important events.
Don’t Think About an Elephant – A very interesting discussion of how words and actions can direct the thinking of people.
The World is Flat – A very incisive (to me) early introduction (2005) to the global changes underway in our world and the effects that there were, and will have on our society
