Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

1997 to 2004 encompassed a very turbulent period for the United States and the world more generally. From the Clinton scandals, the lead up to the Millennium, the Great Loose Chad Presidential Election of 2000 to the planet riveting events of September 2001, there is plenty to pontificate about....and Van Gross, MD certainly does that. But he'll get personal, satirical, educational and wax poetic too. As the U.S. entered overseas wars in the early 2000's, its role in the Mid-East, its incipient reformulation of race relations and increasing attention paid to the Americas, only climate change and/or Al Gore would seem to be in the way of planetary chaos. Acknowledging a supporting cast of celebrities from politicians such as Bush and Fidel to performing artists that include Pete Rose and Mother Theresa, Van Gross, MD propels forward from the spectacular insights of Oliver Sacks. This neurologist/commentator wows in the brain/mind/body arenas as well. Short essays and poems pack this volume and even take us back in history to how we got there. Lock in your W's everyone. It's the Van Gross, MD "Who, What and Where Game" and as Sly Stone reminded us way back when "Everybody is a star."
