A Bit of History in Pics
The pics come from various phases of my Work in the fine arts, etc., mostly between 2017 and 2019 (coming soon).
Books, Articles, Excerpts, etc.
Excerpt: Three chapters of my latest pre-press draft of Civilization or Dystopia: Power tools for global emergency responders. Hopefully, the entire book will be finished and published before the 4th of July, Interdependence Day or, at the latest, by Gandhi Day, September 11 (celebrating his first mass-march against Apartheid in South Africa, 1906). The excerpt is available via Google Drive.
