TIME LINES is a collection of thoughts, questions, and comments inspired by the lives and works of more than 100 famous, not-so-famous, and a few infamous historical figures. The subject matter is diverse, and can perhaps best be described as "Reflections On the Human Experience," covering personages from Abbey to Zeno, and topics such as philosophy, science, religion, war, race, ethics, journalism, law, and politics. To get an idea of the approach taken by TIME LINES, examine the sample entries from the book that appear on this web page. Each entry, whether light-hearted or poignant in nature, is intended to consider a given issue from an original, unique perspective, and in a manner that leads to further reflection on that issue.
