Heir to All the Ages
How lucky we are to have access to the incredible richness of human culture! I have drawn on it mainly in three ways: books, movies, and travel. Books have always meant much to me. The knowledge, thoughts, perceptions, insights, experiences, and feelings that are captured in books—I marvel at the treasure. Movies, too, have for more than a hundred years captured life in the most varied settings. And through travel we experience cultures in other parts of the world and see in art and architecture something of the rich past of these places.
A World Transformed
The world I was born into was a different world from that of today. Our daily lives, our work, our possessions, our entertainment, our technologies, our world view, our attitudes about how to live—all have changed. I have tried to recapture what I experienced throughout my life, both the setting I found myself in and the thoughts and feelings I had. Through it all I feel that in many way I am a child of the 1950s.
What this author said about working with us...
The process of creating a book with Luminare Press could hardly have gone better. I was delighted with all aspects of the work: interior design, cover and dust jacket design, improvement of some 120 historical photos, and an ebook. All I worked with--Patricia, Claire, Kim, Caitlin, and Nina--were friendly, responsive, and professional. Heartfelt thanks to all. Frederik Nebeker
