What It Is To Be Human --
The
full title of the book was "hope lies in our ability to bring back to
awarenessWhat It Is To Be Human."
Awkward perhaps, but I like what it
says. Published 1994, now OUT of PRINT A book
of stories that I experienced, showing that people in other cultures
see a different reality than we see. They think differently, certainly
judge differently. And that is interesting and important to know, I
think.
Authors are supposed to promote their own books. I don’t know how.
Fortunately, the book found its own readers from one to another
Original
Wisdom; Stories of an
Ancient Way of Knowing
. The same book as the one above, edited and
given another title, published in 2001 (it
came out a few weeks before 9-11). It is still in print, and, as its
first manifestation, is finding its own readers. Almost certainly the
most well
known of my books. Translated in Croatian, Dutch,
Korean, and German and two other languages maybe pending. And I've heard from three people that there is a
pirated version in Chinese (China does not recognize copyright). Other
translations are waiting for the world economy to get
'normal'?

the wonder of being
-- collection of "letters to my friends" the last decennium of the 20th
century, edited and put together in 2012 - 18 chapters -- now in pdf
format, perhaps eBook later
SPIRAL
Web published. Free download. Don’t know exactly how to tell what
it is about. It is a 'novel', meaning it is fiction. It may be in the
future, or in a parallel universe. It is not
science fiction: not much science in it. Nor is it fantasy, exactly.
Ah… read it. Oh, and the title -- that cannot be changed; nor the all
caps. I have no idea why that should be, but every time I tried to
think of a better title, or just a different spelling, something in me
said, No.
REALITIES
published online only so far, 31
december 2010 . Collection of three essays,
each too long for an essay too short for a book. Together they make a
small book that elaboratley gives form(s) to my thinking about
realities for half my life -- a very long life. The two main
realities I write about are the planetary ecology, Mother Earth,
Nature-- and the man-made world we live in (no apologies for
using man, no woman could
have designed our world). The Earth was all we needed for ages. Our
world is unsustainable even in the
short term. .
As a book it still feels ʻrawʻ I may make changes, additions,
subtractions, edits... I put it on because I may run out of
time to improve it.
It is in pdf format, can be downloaded (for free now) and read like an
e-Book. Tell me what you think. Earth Destroyed; Earth Renewed; (future fiction) my last book. Tight in 300 pages. Basically it is one possible scenario
for the future. I wrote it over many years: adding, rewriting,
omitting, changing. Plants change, humans change... and manybe survive as a
new kind of human. Now in pdf format, later in eBook formats maybe... Still free. A LITTLE BOOK OF LITTLE POEMS, a whimsy, 2012 (pdf)
