After fifty years helping create the greatest prosperity in human history, I sold my business operations two years ago and wrote "The Blessed Generation: Fifty Years on the Cutting Edge of Rapid Change" which is available on Amazon. In the final chapter I wrote about what I saw for America's future, but it was too much to put into that narrative. These last pages became the lead into my second book, "Looking Through a Glass Darkly: Divided America and the Gathering Storm", published in 2023 and also available on Amazon. I wrote this more political book to be read by the general reader who has an open mind but who wants to really know what has and is going on in our country and with our political class that has lacked strong leadership since the Greatest Generation retired.One chapter in the book, "What Happens When the Lights Go Out?" was unique enough to get me published in the Harvard Magazine and subsequently to become an invited member of CO2 Coalition www.co2coalition.orgBeing a member of this group, which is the premier nonpartisan, nonpolitical source of scientific information on global warming issues.
