by John E. Beerbower (Author)
I have now written over 700 pages about political/social matters and 900 pages on science. But, I keep on reading and thinking, and new issues and different perspectives keep arising, with no end in sight. So, I return to the practice of collecting the first versions of new essays in modest-sized books as part of my Wanderings series. As long as I continue to wonder, I shall continue to wander and to record my wanderings. Is there an end in sight?
As I wander, I keep making "discoveries"-things that are new to me, that I had failed to realize (not to suggest that no one or, even, everyone had not already recognized these things). In my idleness (and my awareness of the impending end), I decided to write down the "discoveries" as they came to me. I rather wish that I had started to do so earlier. But, I guess that I assumed that I would remember them or be able to rediscover them again later! Anyway, the result is my Wanderings series, of which this is number six and takes the total pages to well over 1,000.
The essays herein address historical matters (the Emancipation Proclamation of 1863, Recontruction), philosophy and science (the question of free will) and public policy (health care, immigration).
